Ectopoglossus is a genus of Hyloxalinae , a subfamily of poison dart . The genus includes seven species thatare native tonorthwestern South America from Ecuador to Panama in Central America.
features
The genus was established in 2017 for those species of frogs that have a tongue process like the Anomaloglossinae , but live separately from most other species with this characteristic on the western, Pacific slopes of the Andes. The frogs are relatively small. Most species have small spots on the underside. The back is dark brown to black.
distribution
The sites are on the western slopes of the Andes, facing the Pacific, at altitudes between 600 and 2260 meters above sea level from northwest Ecuador to Colombia . In addition, there are lower-lying sites between 100 and 1100 meters above sea level in the Serranía del Darien on the border between Colombia and Panama and in the Serranía de San Blas and the catchment area of the Río Chagres in Panama.
Systematics and taxonomy
There are three genera in the subfamily Hyloxalinae:
- Ectopoglossus
- Hyloxalus
- Paruwrobates
The genus Ectopoglossus comprises 7 species, 5 of which were separated from the genus Anomaloglossus in 2017 : The other species, including the type species , have so far mostly been regarded as belonging to the genus Anomaloglossus and can therefore usually be found under the synonymous names in the specialist literature.
