Tink Frog

Diasporus diastema

Summary 5

Diasporus diastema (syn. Eleutherodactylus diastema, Hyla chica, and Syrrhopus ineptus) is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. Common names include common tink frog or dink frog, supposedly because of the loud metallic "tink" sound that the male frog makes during the night (up to 40 times per minute). It is found in Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, western Ecuador, and Panama.
