Crossodactylodes (common name: bromeliad frogs) is a genus of leptodactylid frogs from the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil.[1]
Most Crossodactylodes are Atlantic Forest species closely associated with bromeliads where they complete their entire life cycle, including the larval development. However, Crossodactylodes itambe inhabits rupicolous (rock-dwelling) bromeliads in open field habitats at higher altitudes.[2]
Species
There are five species:[1]
- Crossodactylodes bokermanni Peixoto, 1983
- Crossodactylodes itambe Barata, Santos, Leite, and Garcias, 2013
- Crossodactylodes izecksohni Peixoto, 1983
- Crossodactylodes pintoi Cochran, 1938
- Crossodactylodes septentrionalis Teixeira, Recoder, Amaro, Damasceno, Cassimiro, and Rodrigues, 2013
