Yellow-blotched Flea Toad

Brachycephalus sulfuratus

Classification

Order
Anura

Saddleback toads are members of the genus Brachycephalus, being very small anurans in the family Brachycephalidae. The genus is further divided into two species groups: the pumpkin toadlets and the flea frogs (or flea toads; once placed in genus Psyllophryne). Some pumpkin toadlets are toxic; their often bright colours are thus considered aposematic.
