Cardioglossa Oreas
''Cardioglossa oreas'' (common name: Mount Okou long-fingered frog) is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to Cameroon and known from the Western High Plateau between Mount Oku and the Bamboutos Mountains. Records from Mount Manengouba refer to ''Cardioglossa manengouba''. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. Unusually for the genus ''Cardioglossa'', the third finger in males is not elongated. It is nevertheless sexually dimorphic in that males have spines in the fingers whereas females do not. The tympanum is small and inconspicuous, another unusual character within ''Cardioglossa''. Furthermore, the characteristic dorsal markings and the white line running under the tympanum are absent. Despite these unusual morphological characters, genetic data nest ''C. oreas'' well within the genus ''Cardioglossa''. Habitat and conservation ''Cardioglossa oreas'' occurs in montane forests, often in bamboo forests; it also occurs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cardioglossa Leucomystax
''Cardioglossa leucomystax'' is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae.

Common name Nsoung long-fingered frog has been coined for it. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. Males have extremely long third fingers and spines in the fingers and in the groin; females lack these characteristics. Dorsal markings typical for the genus ''Cardioglossa'' are present, whereas the white line running under the tympanum is absent. Habitat and conservation ''Cardioglossa trifasciata'' occurs in dense secondary bush and montane forest at elevations of above sea level Height above mean sea level is a measure of the vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) of a location in reference to a historic mean sea level taken as a vertical datum.

Cardioglossa Pulchra
''Cardioglossa pulchra'' is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in the Cameroon Range in western Cameroon (excluding Mount Cameroon) and in the Obudu Plateau in adjacent eastern Nigeria. Common name black long-fingered frog has been coined for it. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. Males have extremely long third fingers and spines in the fingers and in the groin; females lack these characteristics (though no female specimens of this particular species were inspected). Dorsal markings, typical for the genus ''Cardioglossa'', are fused to a broad black stripe that extends over the entire dorsum. The white line running under the tympanum is absent. The tadpoles have a depressed, elliptical body and a long tail with broadly rounded tip. The largest specimen (Gosner stage 29) measures in total length, most of which is tail: body length is only . Habitat and conservation ''Cardioglossa pulchra'' occurs in submontane and m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cardioglossa Nigromaculata
''Cardioglossa nigromaculata'' is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in the south-western Cameroon and in the extreme southern Nigeria at low altitudes. Common name blackspotted long-fingered frog has been coined for it. Description Males measure and females, based on a single specimen, in snout–vent length. Males have extremely long third fingers and spines in the fingers and in the groin; females lack these characteristics. Dorsal markings, typical for the genus ''Cardioglossa'', consist of an hour-glass pattern, with a separate blotch on the head. The white line running under the tympanum terminates under the eye. Habitat and conservation ''Cardioglossa nigromaculata'' occurs in lowland moist forests, as well as in degraded habitats near more mature forests, at elevations of above sea level Height above mean sea level is a measure of the vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) of a location in reference to a historic mean sea level ...

Cardioglossa Cyaneospila
''Cardioglossa cyaneospila'' is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to the Albertine Rift area in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, southwestern Uganda, Rwanda, and southwestern Burundi. It was described in 1950 by Raymond Laurent based on specimens collected in 1949. No new records were published until 2011. Recent research has uncovered both old unpublished records and several new records, and the conservation status was changed from "data deficient" to "near threatened" in 2016. Common names Bururi long-fingered frog and Mukuzira long-fingered frog have been coined for this species. Description Two males from Bururi measure about in snout–vent length. The species is named for its unusual blueish gray color. It has dark spots in its dorsum, a dark mask surrounding the eye and tympanum, and an infratympanal line typical for the genus ''Cardioglossa''. Males have extremely long third fingers.
