Taxon Name:  Hypsiboas punctatus (Schneider, 1799) Common Name(s): • Spanish:

Rana Punteada

Taxonomic Notes: This species was previously within the genus Hyla but has recently been moved to the resurrected genus Hypsiboas (Faivovich, et al., 2005). The taxonomy and synonymy of this name is convoluted and unstable. It certainly includes many species (Hoogmoed and Gruber, 1983). The name Hypsiboas hobbsi has been employed for Venezuelan specimens (e.g. McDiarmid and Paolillo, 1988).

Assessment Information Red List Category & Criteria:

Least Concern ver 3.1

Year Published:

2010

Date Assessed:

December 2, 2008

Justification: Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, tolerance of a broad range of habitats, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.

Previously Published Red List Assessments 2004 – Least Concern (LC)

Geographic Range Range Description: This species occurs throughout the Amazon basin in South America, south to the Chaco region of Paraguay and along the banks of the Río Paraguay-Parana, Argentina. It is present on Trinidad island, Trinidad and Tobago. It is found from the lowlands to 1,400 m asl.

Country Occurrence: Native: Argentina; Bolivia, Plurinational States of; Brazil; Colombia; Ecuador; French Guiana; Guyana; Paraguay; Peru; Suriname; Trinidad and Tobago; Venezuela, Bolivarian Republic of

Population It is a common species.

Current Population Trend:  Stable

Habitat and Ecology (see Appendix for additional information) Individuals have been found in primary and secondary forest (Duellman, 1978), but it is usually found in grasses or bushes (leaves and branches) in flooded areas, seasonal swamps, slowly moving water, choked ditches or rivers. It is common to find it in pastures and fairly open country. The presence of this species might be associated with the plant Montrichardia arborescens. In the Iquitos region, Perú, this frog is common in permanent and semi permanent open ponds, where males call from water surface amidst grassy areas (Rodríguez and Duellman, 1994). Eggs and tadpoles develop in the water. It can occur in badly degraded habitats, rural gardens and sometimes in towns.

Systems:  Terrestrial, Freshwater

Threats There are no major threats to this widespread species that has large areas of suitable habitat remaining. There is some localized habitat loss to general human activities such as logging and agriculture (crops, livestock etc.). It is sometimes found in the international pet trade but at levels that do not currently constitute a major threat.

Conservation Actions (see Appendix for additional information) It is present in numerous protected areas throughout its range.
