Physalaemus

Physalaemus is a large genus of leptodactylid frogs. These frogs, sometimes known as dwarf frogs or foam frogs, are found in South America. It is very similar to Leptodactylus, a close relative, and indeed the recently rescribed Leptodactylus lauramiriamae is in some aspects intermediate between them. There are 47 or 46 species (AmphibiaWeb lists Physalaemus nattereri as Eupemphix nattereri ):
