Flectonotus
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Flectonotus is a genus of frogs of the family Hemiphractidae.[1][2] They are found on the Andes of northeastern Colombia and adjacent Venezuela as well as in Trinidad and Tobago.[1][3]
Taxonomy
The genus has been considered to include Fritziana, but the latter genus was recognized again in 2011.[1][3] The former Flectonotus consisted of two geographically disjunctive components, one from northern South America (=Flectonotus, as understood today) and the other from southeastern Brazil (now Fritziana).[3] The distinctiveness of these taxa is now well established and based on both molecular, behavioural, and morphological characters.[1][3]
Species
There are two Flectonotus species:[1][2]
- Flectonotus fitzgeraldi (Parker, 1934)
- Flectonotus pygmaeus (Boettger, 1893)
