Noblella

	Noblella ''Noblella'' is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae. They are found on the eastern slopes of the Andes and in the Amazon Basin in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and western Brazil. The name refers to Gladwyn K. Noble, who described the first species. Taxonomy The genus ''Noblella'' was originally erected to accommodate '' Sminthillus peruvianus'', but subsequently synonymized, first with ''Eleutherodactylus'' (1971) and then with ''Phrynopus'' (1975). ''Noblella'' was resurrected by De la Riva and colleagues in 2008. At the same time, the genus ''Phyllonastes'' was placed into synonymy with ''Noblella''. However, ''Noblella'', as currently defined, might still be polyphyletic. Description Species of the genus ''Noblella'' are small frogs measuring up to in snout–vent length. Head is no wider than the body. Tympanic membrane In the anatomy of humans and various other tetrapods, the eardrum, also called the tympanic membrane or myringa, is a thin, cone-shape ...

	Noblella Peruviana ''Noblella peruviana'' is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the Andean highlands in Peru. History and taxonomy ''Noblella peruviana'' is the type species of genus ''Noblella''. The genus was erected by Thomas Barbour to accommodate the species that had until then been known as ''Sminthillus peruvianus''; the only other ''Sminthillus'' species was from Cuba (now known as ''Eleutherodactylus limbatus''). However, despite its status as defining the genus ''Noblella'', ''Noblella peruviana'' is a little known species. Its type locality is considered to be in error; the true locality is uncertain but may be in the Puno Region. In the literature, it has also been mixed with '' Pleurodema marmorata'' from Bolivia and with ''Psychrophrynella usurpator'' from Peru. Description The holotype measures in snout–vent length. The following description is from the original species description by Gladwyn Kingsley Noble Gladwyn Kingsley Noble (September 20, 1 ...
