No verified amphibian species meet the criteria for a “List of Amphibians Of Eritrea” at this time.
The strict criteria require confirmed, published records or vetted database entries showing species occurrence inside Eritrea. Those records are not available in major global sources. Do not find a species-level checklist that meets those standards, so a definitive list would be empty rather than speculative.
Eritrea’s environment and survey history explain this gap. Large parts of the country are arid or semi-arid and have few permanent freshwater sites, which limits amphibian diversity. Scientific surveys of Eritrea’s herpetofauna are sparse, and historical, political, and logistical barriers have reduced field work and museum sampling. As a result, many potential records remain unverified or absent from AmphibiaWeb, IUCN, GBIF and regional checklists.
Use nearby, well-documented options as close alternatives. Consult amphibian lists from neighboring Ethiopia, Sudan and Djibouti, where genera such as Ptychadena (grass frogs), Hyperolius (reed frogs) and Xenopus (clawed frogs) are recorded and may occur in similar habitats. Also explore Eritrea’s verified lists of birds, mammals and reptiles, and check global databases (AmphibiaWeb, IUCN, GBIF) or citizen-science platforms (iNaturalist) to follow new, confirmed records.
