The knick-toe tree frogs ( Scinax ) are a genus from the subfamily of the knick-toe tree frogs i. w. S. in the family of the tree frogs . The name of the genus Scinax is derived from the Greek word skinos (= quick, nimble), here in its Latin form scinax .
description
These mostly monotonously colored tree frogs have, compared to other tree frogs, a small to medium-sized head-torso length and medium-sized eyes. The adhesive discs on the fingers are wider than they are long. The webbed fingers are completely absent or reduced. The webbing between the first and second toe is missing or reduced to a hem on the second toe. Other morphological features that can be used to distinguish buck-toe tree frogs from other tree frogs include: a. the fontanel , which is emphasized behind the eyes (to different degrees), the integument of the head, which is not fused with the skull, the front part of the scaly bone , which does not reach the upper jaw , and the small jawbone, which is poorly developed and forms a joint with the upper jaw.
Originally, the Scinax species were divided into different species groups with common features, such as a characteristic coloration of the inner thighs of the S. ruber group (so-called "flash colors" ). Jungfer (1987) described the remarkable ability to bend the first finger and the first toe 90 ° forward, probably to sit more securely "upside down". Duellman & Wiens (1992) only assign this type of seating to certain species of the genus (the S. rostrata group, see systematics below ); In the literature, however, the common German name "Knickzehenlaubfösche" appears for all Scinaxinae species.
distribution
These frogs are found from eastern and southern Mexico through Central America to Argentina and Uruguay and are found on the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago and St. Lucia .

In 2014 Scinax melanodactylus , Scinax villasboasi and Scinax sateremawe were newly described. Scinax melanodactylus Lourenço, Luna & Pombal, 2014, was later placed in the genus Ololygon .
2015 followed Scinax rupestris Araujo Vieira, Brandão & Faria, 2015. In January 2016, the first description of was Scinax haddadorum published. Scinax caissara Lourenço, Zina, Catroli, Kasahara, Faivovich & Haddad, 2016, was also later assigned to the genus Ololygon .
In 2016 Scinax pinima (Bokermann & Sazima, 1973) and Scinax uruguayus (Schmidt, 1944) were spun off and placed in the new genus Julianus .
In 2018, Scinax ruberoculatus Ferrão, Fraga, Moravec, Kaefer & Lima, 2018 and Scinax strussmannae Ferrão, Moravec, Kaefer, Fraga, & Lima, 2018 as well as Scinax caprarius Acosta-Galvis, 2018 and Scinax tsachila Ron, Duellman, Caminer & Pazmiño, 2018 described.
Not all authors adhere to the division of the genus Scinax into the two clades Scinax and Ololygon ; therefore, new species from the Scinax catharinae group continue to be first described as Scinax .
