Barygenys Resima
''Barygenys'' is a genus of microhylid frogs. They are endemic to New Guinea and the adjacent Louisiade Archipelago. So far only known from Papua New Guinea, the range of the genus is expected to reach Papua Papua most commonly refers to: * New Guinea, the world's second-largest island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean * Western New Guinea, the western half of the island of New Guinea, which is administered by Indonesia. ** Papua (province), an Indonesi ... province in the Indonesian part of New Guinea. Despite not being known from Papua, common name Papua frogs has been suggested for them. Description ''Barygenys'' have squat body, narrow head, and tiny eyes. ''Barygenys'' are unique among asterophryine frogs in that they bear vertical ridges (or traces thereof) on the snout, and in having short, sharply tapering fingers with narrowly rounded tips. The largest species ('' Barygenys resima'') reaches a body size around in snout–vent length, while '' Barygenys parvula'' is not ...

Barygenys Atra
''Barygenys atra'' is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to eastern New Guinea and is known from the Morobe and Northern Provinces, Papua New Guinea. Common name Gunther's Papua frog has been proposed for it. Description ''Barygenys atra'' is a heavy-bodied frog with a comparatively small head, moderately long hind limbs, and pointed nose. It grows to at least in snout–vent length (the holotype A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism, known to have been used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described. It is either the single such physical example (or illustration) or one of seve ..., sex unspecified). The snout shows only the faintest trace of the three vertical ridges that are prominent in other ''Barygenys'' species. The eyes are very small. The tympanum is scarcely visible; a weakly developed supratympanic fold is present. The fingers are short, broad at the base and tapering to narrow ...

Barygenys Parvula
''Barygenys parvula'' is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and is only known from the Adelbert Mountains, an isolated coastal range on the north coast of Papua New Guinea. The specific name ''parvula'' is from the Latin adjective meaning small, in reference to the small size of this frog. Description The type series consists of two adult males measuring in snout–vent length. The body is robust, with broad head, truncate shout, relatively short legs, and small eyes. The tympanum is inconspicuous. The fingers are short and unwebbed; the toes are unwebbed and have slightly expanded digital disks. The skin is somewhat warty. The dorsum is brown with indistinct markings. The ventral surfaces are finely mottled in dark and light brown. The male advertisement call has been described as "a series of rapid, high-pitched peeps". Habitat and conservation ''Barygenys parvula'' inhabits primary tropical rainforest at about above sea level. It i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amphibians Of New Guinea
Amphibians are four-limbed and ectothermic vertebrates of the class Amphibia. All living amphibians belong to the group Lissamphibia. They inhabit a wide variety of habitats, with most species living within terrestrial, fossorial, arboreal or freshwater aquatic ecosystems. Thus amphibians typically start out as larvae living in water, but some species have developed behavioural adaptations to bypass this. The young generally undergo metamorphosis from larva with gills to an adult air-breathing form with lungs. Amphibians use their skin as a secondary respiratory surface and some small terrestrial salamanders and frogs lack lungs and rely entirely on their skin. They are superficially similar to reptiles like lizards but, along with mammals and birds, reptiles are amniotes and do not require water bodies in which to breed. With their complex reproductive needs and permeable skins, amphibians are often ecological indicators; in recent decades there has been a dramatic dec ...

Barygenys Nana
''Barygenys nana'' is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and is known from the mountains of Eastern Highlands and Western Highlands Provinces, Papua New Guinea. The specific name ''nana'' refers to the small size of this species. Common name highland Papua frog has been proposed for it. Description The holotype, a male presumed to be adult, measures in snout–vent length, whereas adult females measure in snout–vent length. The eyes are small, although relatively large compared to other ''Barygenys'' species. The snout is pointed. The tympanum is only faintly visible. The fingers are short, broad at the base but tapering to narrow, rounded tips. The toes are unwebbed. Skin is smooth, except in the post- sacral region and the hind legs where it becomes pustulose; the degree of rugosity varies greatly between individuals. Preserved specimens are dorsally light brown with some darker infuscation. The ventral surfaces are light brown with f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Barygenys Exsul
''Barygenys exsul'' is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea. It is known from Rossel (type locality) and Sudest Islands in the Louisiade Archipelago, east of New Guinea. It is uncertain whether the specimens from Sudest really are conspecific with this species. '' Barygenys apodasta'' and '' Barygenys resima'' were mixed with this species prior to their description in 2013. Description Adult males measure and females in snout–vent length. The eyes are small. The tympanum is not evident or is indistinct. The fingers are short, unwebbed, and with rounded tips but lacking discs; the toes are unwebbed and have discs that are barely wider than width of penultimate phalanges. Coloration is dark brown or mud-brown, speckled with black or with obscure darker brown markings. Sometimes they can be uniform dark brown, or have a broad mud-brown vertebral stripe. Males call at night from beneath the surface of the soil. The call is a rapid se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
