The Neotropical region has the world's greatest diversity of anurans.
In addition to many genera and species of Bu­fonidae, Hylidae, and Microhylidae, there are seven endemic families: Allophrynidae, Brachycephalidae Centrolenidae, Dendrobatidae, Leptodactylidae, Rhinodermatidae, and Rhi­nophrynidae.
Four of these (Allophrynidae, Brachycephali­dae, Rhinodermatidae, and Rhinophrynidae) contain a total of only eight species, but Centrolenidae and Dendrobatidae have a total of more than 300 species, and Leptodactylidae contains more than 1,000 species, of which Eleutherodactylus is the most speciose and widespread.
