Werner , 1896

The whistling frogs ( Leptodactylidae in the narrower sense) are a new worldly widespread family of the frogs (Anura). Until some time ago this was much broader. It was, however, a paraphyletic collective taxon, which was known in German under the name Südfrösche or Pfeiffrösche. Most of these formerly well over 1000 species have been classified in other families after extensive revisions (cf. Ceratophryidae , Cycloramphidae , Alsodidae , Eleutherodactylidae , Telmatobiidae and Craugastoridae ).

The remaining 13 genera of the Leptodactylidae in the narrower sense occur with more than 200 species from the extreme south of Texas to southern Brazil . By far the most species-rich genus are the real whistling frogs ( Leptodactylus ) with 74 species. Your representatives often have loud, whistling calls. During reproduction, the spawn is placed in a self-made foam nest. This mostly happens in a body of water or near a body of water, but with the Brazilian marble whistle frog ( Adenomera marmorata , syn. Leptodactylus marmoratus ) the foam layer is buried in the ground, where the tadpoles also go through their entire development.

Genera and species

The South American bullfrog ( Leptodactylus pentadactylus ) is one of the largest members of the family with a length of 18 cm; it is occasionally used as food by humans

The family includes three subfamilies with 13 genera with a total of 206 species.

(Processing status: June 28, 2019)

Subfamily Leptodactylinae Werner 1896 (103 species) As of June 23, 2020

The genus Lithodytes was largely disbanded and distributed to several other taxa. At least the species Lithodytes lineatus is considered valid in some reviews (otherwise as a synonym of Leptodactylus lineatus ).

Subfamily Paratelmatobiinae Ohler & Dubois, 2012 (13 species)

  • The proposal to synonymize Pseudopaludicola parnaiba Robert, Cardozo & Ávila, 2013 with Pseudopaludicola canga Giaretta & Kokubum, 2003, was not implemented in Amphibian Species of the World (ASW) or in Amphibian Web (AW).
