Pseudis is a genus of frogs commonly known as the false toads. They are primarily found in freshwater habitats across parts of South America, particularly in countries like Brazil and Argentina. These frogs are characterized by their unique appearance, which includes a flattened body and large, bulging eyes. Pseudis frogs are known for their distinctive vocalizations, which are used during mating calls. They typically inhabit areas with slow-moving water, such as ponds and marshes, where they can be found resting on vegetation or swimming. Their diet mainly consists of insects and other small invertebrates.
