Oreobates is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae. [1] Most species were formerly in the genus Ischnocnema, but were moved to this revalidated genus following a 2006 revision. [2] Its sister taxon is Lynchius. [1]
These frogs are found in the lower slopes of the Andes into the upper Amazon Basin from Colombia south to northern Argentina and east into western Brazil. [1]
Frogs in the genus Oreobates are small to medium-sized with males measuring 20–44 mm (0.79–1.73 in) and females 25–63 mm (0.98–2.48 in) in snout–vent length. They are generally brownish in colour. Body is robust with a short snout. The toes lack discs and fingers have reduced or absent discs; there is no webbing. [3]
Species of the genus Oreobates lay terrestrial eggs that undergo direct development. [3]
The following species are recognised in the genus Oreobates: [1]
