Cricket, Chorus, & Treefrogs

Blanchard's Cricket Frog - Acris blanchardi Cope’s Gray Treefrog - Hyla chrysoscelis 1

Green Treefrog – Hyla cinerea (Eastern Gray Treefrog – Hyla versicolor) 1 No Specimen Spotted Chorus Frog - Pseudacris clarkii Spring Peeper - Pseudacris crucifer Cajun Chorus Frog - Pseudacris fouquettei Look exactly like a Boreal Chorus Frog Boreal Chorus Frog - Pseudacris maculata Strecker's Chorus Frog - Pseudacris streckeri

True Frogs Northern Crawfish Frog – Rana (Lithobates areolatus circulosus) areolata circulosa Plains Leopard Frog – Rana (Lithobates) blairi American Bullfrog – Rana (Lithobates catesbeianus) catesbeiana Green Frog – Rana (Lithobates) clamitans Pickerel Frog – Rana (Lithobates) palustris Southern Leopard Frog – Rana (Lithobates sphenocephalus utricularius) sphenocephala utricularia Wood Frog – Rana (Lithobates sylvaticus) sylvatica 1Hyla versicolor and Hyla chrysoscelis cannot be distinguished from one another based on external morphology, and

are often collectively referred to as the Gray Treefrog Complex. Correct identification is based on their calls (which differ slightly) and their karyotypes (H. versicolor is tetraploid). Most members of this complex in Kansas (including those in Lyon county) are H. chrysoscelis, but H. versicolor is found near the Missouri border.
