:''"Albericus" is the Latin form of the name Alberic.'' ''Albericus'' is a genus of microhylid frogs endemic to New Guinea. These are small frogs with maximum body length around 27 mm. The genus was described in 1995, when three species in ''Cophixalus'' were separated as a new genus. The genus name ''Albericus'' is the Latin form of Alberich, shape-shifting dwarf in the epic poem Nibelungenlied. Several species derive also their specific names from Nibelungenlied, e.g. ''A. siegfriedi'' from Siegfried and ''A. fafniri'' from Fafnir. The distinction between ''Albericus'' and the closely related genus ''Choerophryne'' is based solely on the orientation of the alary processes of the premaxillae, giving the latter its distinctive snout. In 2013 a new ''Choerophryne'' species was described with an orientation intermediate between the two genera, suggesting ''Albericus'' is likely a junior synonym of ''Choerophryne''. ==Species== Amphibian Species of the World assigns 18 species to ''Albericus'' as of March 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Microhylidae/Asterophryinae/Albericus )〕 * ''Albericus alpestris'' Kraus, 2010. * ''Albericus brevicrus'' Günther and Richards, 2012. * ''Albericus brunhildae'' Menzies, 1999. * ''Albericus darlingtoni'' (Loveridge, 1948). * ''Albericus exclamitans'' Kraus and Allison, 2005. * ''Albericus fafniri'' Menzies, 1999. * ''Albericus gudrunae'' Menzies, 1999. * ''Albericus gunnari'' Menzies, 1999. * ''Albericus laurini'' Günther, 2000. * ''Albericus murritus'' Kraus and Allison, 2009. * ''Albericus pandanicolus'' Günther and Richards, 2012. * ''Albericus rheaurum'' Menzies, 1999. * ''Albericus sanguinopictus'' Kraus and Allison, 2005. * ''Albericus siegfriedi'' Menzies, 1999. * ''Albericus swanhildae'' Menzies, 1999. * ''Albericus tuberculus'' (Richards, Johnston & Burton, 1992). * ''Albericus valkuriarum'' Menzies, 1999. * ''Albericus variegatus'' (Kampen, 1923). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albericus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
