Diasporus
Diasporus is a genus of frogs in the family Eleutherodactylidae. The genus was first described in 2008. They are found in Central and northern South America. They are sometimes referred to as dink frogs, in reference to the "tink" sound that males make during the mating season.

Characteristics
Diasporus are small frogs, with a snout–vent length varying between  in male Diasporus quidditus to  in female Diasporus hylaeformis. They have a relatively large, distinct head. All members have direct development, skipping a tadpole stage. The male advertisement call is either a "whistle" or a "tink" (or "dink"), depending on the species.

Etymology
The name is from the Greek diaspora ("a dispersion from"). It refers to the relationship of this genus to the Caribbean clade of Eleutherodactylus.

Distribution
Diasporus spp. inhabit humid lowland and montane forests from eastern Honduras through Panama to the Pacific versant of Colombia and northwestern Ecuador.
