Copiula is an amphibian genus of the family -mouthed . It is endemic to the island of New Guinea .
description
The pupils are horizontal. The tongue is relatively small, elongated, elliptical, with entire margins and freely liftable at the back. Palatine teeth are missing. Behind each choane there is a short, strongly protruding and slightly concave ridge. There is a long serrated cross fold in front of the throat entrance. The eardrum is sharp. The fingers and toes are free and at the end widened to form small adhesive discs . The terminal phalanges are T-shaped and bony. The precoracoid and omosternum are absent. The coracoid are inclined and rather broadened at the medial end. The sternum is an anchor-shaped cartilage plate. The transverse processes of the sacral vertebra are fairly widened.
Occurrence
The genus occurs only in New Guinea .
Systematics
The genus Copiula was first described by Méhely in 1901 . It includes 16 types:
As of March 25, 2020
- Copiula alpestris (Doubt, 2000)
- Copiula annanoreenae Günther, Richards & Dahl, 2014
- Copiula bisyllaba Günther & Richards, 2020
- Copiula derongo (Doubt, 2000)
- Copiula exspectata Günther, 2002
- Copiula fistulans Menzies & Tyler, 1977
- Copiula guttata (Doubt, 2000)
- Copiula lennarti Günther, Richards & Dahl, 2014
- Copiula major Günther, 2002
- Copiula minor Menzies & Tyler, 1977
- Copiula mosbyae Günther & Richards, 2020
- Copiula obsti Günther, 2002
- Copiula oxyrhina (Boulenger, 1898)
- Copiula pipiens Burton & Stocks, 1986
- Copiula rivularis (Doubt, 2000)
- Copiula tyleri Burton, 1990
Various studies suggest that the genus Copiula is not monophyletic . In 2015 the species Austrochaperina derongo , A. guttata and A. rivularis were placed in the genus Copiula . Oxydactyla alpestris became Copiula alpestris .
In 2020 two species of the genus were newly described .
