Fritziana is a genus of frogs in the family Hemiphractidae.[1][2] They are endemic to southeastern Brazil and found on the mountains and adjacent coastal lowlands from Espírito Santo to São Paulo state.[1][3]
Taxonomy
The genus has been considered synonym of Flectonotus, but was recognized again in 2011.[1][3] The former Flectonotus consisted of two geographically disjunctive components, one from northern South America (Flectonotus as understood today) and the other from southeastern Brazil (Fritziana).[3] The distinctiveness of these taxa is now well established and based on both molecular, behavioural, and morphological characters.[1][3]
Species
The following species are recognised in the genus Fritziana:[1][2]
