Leptodactylus bolivianus
Boulenger 1898
|
|
|
Proposed Portuguese Name:
|
|
Other Published Names: Sapo-rana boliviano (Barrio, 1998); sharp-nosed jungle frog (Bartlett & Bartlett, 2003); edible frog (Cooper & Bacon, 1981; Murphy, 1997); hoei-hoeimi (Finkers, 1986); koana (Finkers, 1986); kohana (Finkers, 1986); shakoha (Finkers, 1986); shekoha (Finkers, 1986); shakohami (Finkers, 1986); mountain chicken (Cooper & Bacon, 1981; Murphy, 1997); Bolivian white-lipped frog (Frank & Ramus, 1995); leptodactyle bolivien (Lescure & Marty, 2000); Bolivian jungle frog (Graham, 2002).
|
|
| Comment: There are likely more than one species hiding under this name. This species probably has a much broader distribution than Bolivia, making the obvious choice of Bolivian thin-toed frog inappropriate. |

Leptodactylus bufonius
Boulenger 1894
|
Proposed English Name:
Oven frog.
|
Proposed Portuguese Name:
|
Proposed Spanish Name:
Rana hornera.
|
Other Published Names: Rana de las vizcacheras (Straneck et al., 1993); ranita chaqueña (Freiberg, 1972); ranita de las viscacheras (Freiberg, 1972); rana silvadora (Álvarez et al., 2002); vizcacheras' frog (Frank & Ramus, 1995);.
|
|
| Comment: There are two species commonly called oven frogs in Latin America: L. bufonius and L. latinasus. Leptodactylus bufonius has also been called the viscacha (a burrowing rodent) frog, but L. bufonius occurs in places the the viscacha does not. The incubating chamber of L. bufonius (the oven - because the chamber looks like an outdoor fire-fueled clay oven) is capped by females and is usually much more conspicuously placed than the incubating chamber of L. latinasus. We propose using oven frog for L. bufonius and the small oven frog for L. latinasus. |

Leptodactylus furnarius
Sazima & Bokermann 1978
|
Proposed English Name:
Cerrado oven frog.
|
Proposed Portuguese Name:
|
Proposed Spanish Name:
Rana hornera del cerrado.
|
Other Published Names: Campo Grande frog (Frank & Ramus, 1995; Achaval & Olmos, 2003); rãzinha-cavadora (Brandão et al., 2006); rana de Campo Grande (Achaval & Olmos, 2003); potter foam frog (Eterovick & Sazima, 2004).
|
|
| Comment: The species name is Latin for oven; Sazima and Bokermann 1978 gave the name in reference to the clay-oven shaped incubating chamber of the species. Oven frog has been used historically for L. bufonius and L. latinasus. The Campo Grande frog refers to the type locality, but the species has a much broader distribution than the region around the type locality. The species occurs extensively in the cerrados of Brasil, although it also occurs in biomes adjacent to the extensive Cerrado Morphoclimatic Domain. |

Leptodactylus latrans
(Steffen 1815)
|
|
|
Proposed Portuguese Name:
|
|
|
|
| Comment: Lavilla et al. (Zootaxa 2346:1-16, 2010) determined that Rana ocellata Linnaeus, 1758 corresponds to Osteopilus brunneus (Gosse, 1851) from Jamaica, while the taxon widely known as Leptodactylus ocellatus corresponds to Rana latrans Steffen, 1815. A neotype of Leptodactylus latrans (Steffen, 1815) was described from Vale dos Agriões, Municipality of Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Mitochrondrial DNA sequence data are available for the neotype. It is currently impossible to delineate the distribution of Leptodactylus latrans beyond the neotype locality. U. Caramaschi, A. Carnaval, R. de Sa, and R. Heyer are working on the Leptodactylus ocellatus complex to determine how many species are involved and what their distributions are. |

The name was given in allusion to the frog digging its "nest" in the ground, like rabbits do, as is also true for L. cunicularius. |
