|
 There are only two species in this family. The Tukeit Hill tree frog (Allophryne ruthveni) is found in
South America in
French Guiana, Venezuela, Surinam, Brazil, and Bolivia.
It is tiny - only an inch in length. It can vary in color from black with yellow spots and stripes to yellow with black spots and stripes.
It spends part of its time in trees, but it also spends time on the ground. Males gather around ponds during the breeding season and call out to females. The female lays her eggs on leaves above the pond.
The second species, Allophryne resplendens, was only recently identified. It is found in Peru.
