About the Bogert's Aquatic Tree Frog

Dendropsophus bogerti is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. The species is endemic to the Andes of Colombia and occurs in the Cordillera Central in Antioquia, Caldas, and Chocó Departments. The specific name bogerti honors Charles Mitchill Bogert, an American herpetologist. Soon after its description in 1970, it was relegated to synonymy of Dendropsophus carnifex, but its species status was restored in 1997.

In a sample of Dendropsophus bogerti from Chocó, three adult males measured 25–26 mm (0.98–1.02 in) and an adult female measured 31 mm (1.2 in) in snout-to-vent length (SVL). In a sample of 11 adults (no sex specified), including the holotype, SVL varied between 31 and 34 mm (1.2 and 1.3 in). The snout is short and rounded. The tympanum is very indistinct. The fingers are webbed at the base, whereas the toes are slightly more than one-half webbed. Coloration is sexually dimorphic: males have dull yellowish green dorsal surfaces of body and limbs, while these are pale golden brown or beige in females. The concealed surfaces of the limbs are bright orange. The throat is bright yellow, and the belly and posteroventral part of flanks are pale brownish yellow... Wikipedia →
