Arthroleptides is a small genus of frogs in the family Petropedetidae.[1][2] Their common name is rocky river frogs. They are found in the mountains of East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, and probably Uganda).[1] They have been considered to belong to Petropedetes, which after exclusion of Arthroleptides is restricted to Central Africa.[3]

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.[3]

Species

The three species are:[1]

Also, one undescribed species from the Nguru Mountains probably exists.[1][3]
