Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Ericabatrachus is a genus of frogs in the family Petropedetidae endemic to the Bale Mountains in Ethiopia. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Ericabatrachus baleensis, commonly known as the Bale Mountains frog.[1]

Taxonomy

Ericabatrachus baleensis is monotypic within its genus. The phylogenetic relationships of this poorly known species have been debated, but molecular analyses place it the family Petropedetidae,[2][3] instead of Phrynobatrachidae or Pyxicephalidae, where it has also been placed. Its sister taxon is Petropedetes.[3]

Description

Bale Mountains frogs are small; adult males measure Шаблон:Convert in snout–vent length and females Шаблон:Convert. Their fingers are not webbed and toes have rudimentary webbing. Adult males have well-defined femoral glands.[4]

Habitat and conservation

Its natural habitats are grassy banks of small, fast-flowing streams in giant heath woodland and adjoining AstropanaxHagenia forest. It is critically endangered because its range is extremely small and the habitat is under threat from trampling of streams, deforestation, and settlement development, despite being located in the Bale Mountains National Park.[5]
