''Arthroleptides'' is a small genus of frogs in the Petropedetidae family.〔 Their common name is rocky river frogs. They are found in the mountains of East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, and probably Uganda). They have been considered to belong to ''Petropedetes'', which after exclusion of ''Arthroleptides'' is restricted to Central Africa. ''Arthroleptides'' species have distinct tympana and no external vocal sacs. Males have femoral glands, and in the breeding state, spiny nuptial excrescences. Tadpoles live on wet rocks out of water.〔 ==Species== The three species are:〔 * ''Arthroleptides dutoiti'' Loveridge, 1935 * ''Arthroleptides martiensseni'' Nieden, 1911 "1910" * ''Arthroleptides yakusini'' Channing, Moyer, and Howell, 2002 Also, one undescribed species from the Nguru Mountains probably exists.〔〔 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「Arthroleptides」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
