Siamophryne

The narrow-mouthed frog

The genus Siamophryne was first described by Suwannapoom, et al. (2018).

Range and habitat

Siamophryne is a genus of frog found in Thailand.

GBIF currently lists 9 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.

Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.

Breeding

Narrow-mouthed frogs are often sit-and-wait predators of ants and termites. Breeding sites range from foam in a burrow to water held in plants.

Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.

In crisis

Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.

Siamophryne is Critically Endangered on this catalog because that is the IUCN category stored on Wikidata. Confirm the official criteria and any later count on iucnredlist.org.
