''Gastrophryne'', the narrowmouth toads (also American narrowmouth toads, North American narrow-mouthed toads), is a genus of microhylid frogs found in the Americas between Honduras and southern United States. Its name means ‘belly-toad’, referring to its large belly, from the Ancient Greek ' (, ‘belly, stomach’) and ' (, ‘toad’). ''Gastrophryne'' is closely related to ''Hypopachus''. Some species that were earlier placed in ''Gastrophryne'' were more closely related to ''Hypopachus'', rendering the genus paraphyletic.〔 This has been rectified by moving some species (''Gastrophryne usta'' and ''Gastrophryne pictiventris'') to ''Hypopachus''. ==Species== The currently recognized species are:〔 * ''G. carolinensis'' (Holbrook, 1835) - eastern narrow-mouthed toad * ''G. elegans'' (Boulenger, 1882) - elegant narrow-mouthed toad * ''G. mazatlanensis'' (Taylor, 1943) * ''G. olivacea'' (Hallowell, 1856) - Great Plains narrow-mouthed toad 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「Gastrophryne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
