Nymphargus posadae ( الإنجليزية )

المقدمة من wikipedia EN

Nymphargus posadae is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae, formerly placed in Cochranella. It inhabits the eastern slopes of the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, and northeastern Peru.[2] It is reasonably common in Colombia but rare in Ecuador.[1]

Description

Male Nymphargus posadae grow to a snout–vent length of 31–34 mm (1.2–1.3 in) and females to 30–33 mm (1.2–1.3 in). The dorsum is green with small greenish-white warts. Webbing is very reduced between the fingers and moderate between the toes.[3]

Habitat

The natural habitats of Nymphargus posadae are vegetation alongside streams in sub-Andean and Andean forests. They lay their eggs on leaves over-hanging water. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles drop into the water below where they develop further. A permanent source of water is required for reproduction. This species is threatened by habitat loss caused by agricultural expansion, timber extraction, and water pollution.[1]
