Centrolene
Genus of amphibians / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Centrolene is a genus of glass frogs in the family Centrolenidae.[1] The adult males are characterized by having a humeral spine, as most members of this family. The delimitation of this genus versus Cochranella is not fully resolved, and some species formerly in Centrolenella — which is nowadays synonymized with Centrolene — are now in Hyalinobatrachium.
