Pseudopaludicola is a genus of leptodactylid frogs from lowland northern and central South America.[1][2] They are known under the common name dwarf swamp frogs or swamp frogs.[1]
Systematics
Pseudopaludicola are small frogs, growing maximally to 22 mm (0.87 in) in snout–vent length. The synapomorphy defining this genus is the greatly enlarged tubercle on the outer edge of the forearm (i.e., hypertrophied antebrachial tubercle).[3] Genetic analyses have recovered this genus as monophyletic, in accordance with earlier studies using morphological characters. Genetic data suggest four major clades within the genus.[2]
Species
Following the Amphibian Species of the World, there are currently 18 species in this genus:[1]
- Pseudopaludicola ameghini (Cope, 1887)
- Pseudopaludicola atragula Pansonato, Mudrek, Veiga-Menoncello, Rossa-Feres, Martins, and Strüssmann, 2014
