Telmatobius
''Telmatobius'' is a genus of frogs native to the Andean highlands in South America, where they are found in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northwestern Argentina and northern Chile. It is the only genus in the Telmatobiidae family. However, some sources recognize ''Batrachophrynus'' as a valid genus, different from ''Telmatobius''.
==Ecology and conservation==
All species are closely associated with water and some are entirely aquatic. It contains more than 50 species; the vast majority seriously threatened, especially from habitat loss, pollution, diseases (chytridiomycosis and nematode infections) and capture for human consumption.〔Angulo (2009). ''(Conservation Needs of Batrachophrynus and Telmatobius Frogs of the Andes of Peru. )'' Conservation and Society. 6(4): 328-333.〕〔Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani and Young, editors (2008). ''Threatened Amphibians of the World.'' ISBN 978-84-96553-41-5〕 The huge Titicaca water frog (''T. culeus''), made famous by Jacques Cousteau, also faces these risks. The three Ecuadorian species have not been seen for years and may already be extinct: ''T. cirrhacelis'' last seen in 1981, ''T. niger'' in 1994 and ''T. vellardi'' in 1987.〔〔
