摘要：Leptodactylus fragilis (Brocchi, 1877) was
described on the basis of a female collected in
Tehuantepec, Mexico. Main diagnostic characters
of the species are the lack of a pair of distinct,
continuous dorsolateral folds; the toes either
lacking or having very weakly developed lateral
ridges and basal webbing; the dorsal surface of the
shank usually being covered with many white
tubercles; the posterior surface of the tarsus either
having many white tubercles or being smooth; the
sole of the foot having many white tubercles; and
the male vocal sacs being laterally expanded with
a dark pigmentation. Although there are
considerable morphological similarities with L.
caatingae and L. latinasus, the three species have
distinct vocalizations (Heyer et al. 2006) and their
ranges do not overlap.
