Description


Leptodactylus is a genus of leptodactylid frogs. It includes the species commonly called ditch frogs or white-lipped frogs. It is very similar to Physalaemus, a close relative, and indeed the 2005 described Leptodactylus lauramiriamae is in some aspects intermediate between them.

Etymology: The name means ´slender finger´, from leptos (´thin, delicate´) and the Greek (, ´finger, toe´).

Taxonomy: The genus Leptodactylus´s sister taxon is the genus Hydrolaetare.

The genus is composed of four species groups. However, three species have not been assigned to a species group (L. hylodes, L. lauramiriamae, L. ochraceus).
