Roze (Eleutherodactylus rozei) is a species of frog in the
Leptodactylidae family. It is endemic to Venezuela. Its natural habitat
is subtropical or tropical moist montanes. Leptodactylidae is a diverse
family of frogs that probably diverged from other hyloids during the
Cenozoic era, or possibly at the end of the Mesozoic. There are roughly
50 genera, one of which is Eleutherodactylus, the largest vertebrate
genus, with over 700 species. In total, there are approximately 1100
leptodactylid species, most of which are widely distributed throughout
Central and South America. The family is often considered paraphyletic
and has no morphological synapomorphies.
