Scientific as well as english and spanish names follow Munoz Chacón & Johnston (2013) Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica (Zona Tropical Pocket Guide), with names in brackets representing older but commonly used names. Information about size and calling season/site was mostly taken from Savage (2002) The Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica (University of Chicago Press).
