Sphaenorhynchus dorisae, the Doris' lime treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in the upper Amazon Basin of southeastern Colombia (Amazonas Department[4]), Ecuador, Brazil [1][3][5] and Peru.[1][6] It might also be present in Bolivia.[3]
Etymology
The specific name dorisae honors Doris Mable Cochran, an American herpetologist.[2]
Description
Adult males measure 26–29 mm (1.0–1.1 in) and females 36–40 mm (1.4–1.6 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is rounded in dorsal view.[6] The tympanum is small and indistinct.[2] The fingers are one-third webbed whereas the toes are fully webbed.[2][6] The dorsum is bright green with small dark spots[2] or lavender green with small spots that are white to yellow. The venter is white. The iris is bronze.[6]
Habitat and conservation
Sphaenorhynchus dorisae is a semi-aquatic species that inhabits open permanent and semi-permanent bodies of water such as ponds, large lakes, and flooded meadows at elevations of 40–300 m (130–980 ft) above sea level. They are commonly found amidst floating vegetation, in particular water lettuce (Pistia). It can locally be threatened by habitat loss.[1]
