I have seen them in these species and also in Bombina variegata, and several species of Microhyhdae. This is such a range of Anuran famihes that probably mucous cord microphagy is a general method of feeding in tadpoles. The mucous cords, with entangled food particles, are moved by ciHa towards the wide oeso- phageal funnel, down which they plunge. Sometimes, the cords are tangled in the oesophagus, but in the Microhyhd tadpole, Hypopachus.
