Holoaden Holoaden Holoaden (common name: highland frogs) is a small genus of craugastorid frogs endemic to southeastern Brazil. "Holoaden" is the type genus of subfamily Holoadeninae that was erected in 2008 and placed in family Strabomantidae, erected at the same time. Before that, it was in Brachycephalidae. However, later research has led the whole Strabomantidae, Holoadeninae included, to become included in Craugastoridae. This arrangement is not followed by all, and the AmphibiaWeb still keeps Holoadeninae, and consequently "Holoaden", in Strabomantidae. "Holoaden" grow to snout–vent length at most. Head is narrower than the body. Differentiated tympanic membrane and tympanic annulus are absent.
Common name Linnaeus himself published a Flora of his homeland Sweden, Flora Svecica (1745), and in this, he recorded the Swedish common names, region by region, as well as the scientific names. The Swedish common names were all binomials (e.g. plant no. 84 Råg-losta and plant no. 85 Ren-losta); the vernacular binomial system thus preceded his scientific binomial system. Linnaean authority William T. Stearn said: The geographic range over which a particularly common name is used varies; some common names have a very local application, while others are virtually universal within a particular language. Some such names even apply across ranges of
