Leptodactylus is a genus of leptodactylid frogs. It includes the species commonly called ditch frogs or white-lipped frogs.{{cite web|url=http://amphibiaweb.org/cgi/amphib_query?where-genus=Leptodactylus&where-species=fragilis |title=Leptodactylus fragilis |publisher=AmphibiaWeb |access-date=2012-06-08}} It is very similar to Physalaemus, a close relative, and indeed the 2005 described Leptodactylus lauramiriamae is in some aspects intermediate between them.Heyer & Crombie (2005)
Etymology
The name means ‘slender finger’, from leptos (‘thin, delicate’) and the Greek {{transliteration|grc|daktylos}} ({{lang|grc|δάκτυλος}}, ‘finger, toe’).{{cite book|last=Dodd|first=C.
