Anomaloglossus degranvillei (common name: Degranville's rocket frog) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is known from French Guiana but is likely to occur also in Suriname and Brazil, and possibly in Guyana.[3] It is named in honour of Jean-Jacques de Granville, a botanist from French Guiana.[2]
Description
Anomaloglossus degranvillei are small frogs: their snout–vent length is about 14–20.5 mm (0.55–0.81 in). Their ventral colouration is black brown with white spots.[2] Male frogs carry tadpoles on their back where they complete their development; tadpoles do not feed.[1][4]
Habitat and conservation
Anomaloglossus degranvillei inhabit edges of rocky streams.[1] They are not found where streams cross swampy or sandy terrain. They are diurnal and appear to be territorial.[2]
