Pseudopaludicola is a group of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae. They live in northern and central South America.[1][2] In English, people call them dwarf swamp frogs or swamp frogs.[1]
Systematics
Pseudopaludicola are small frogs. They are not bigger than 22 mm (0.87 in) from nose to rear end. The part of their bodies that shows they are Pseudopaludicola is a very big bump on the outer edge of the front foot. This is called a hypertrophied antebrachial tubercle.[3] Scientists looked at the frogs' genes to make sure they were related to each other, and they saw that they are. Genetic data show that there are four groups of speciess in the genus.[2]
