Phyllomedusa chaparroi

Phyllomedusa chaparroi is a species of treefrog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae endemic to Peru. Scientists have only seen it in two places.[2][3] This frog has been observed between 537 and 650 meters above sea level.[1]

The adult male frog measures approximately 67.9 to 77.5 mm long in snout-vent length. This frog resembles Phyllomedusa camba very closely but the two species can be distinguished in nuclear and mitochondrial markers.[4]

The iris of the eye is red-brown in color with tiny, indistinct orange spots.[4]

This frog has been found in primary and secondary humid forest. Specimens were collected at night near temporary ponds. They were on plants .5-1.5 meters above the ground. The female frog lays her eggs in a foam nest situated on a leaf hanging over the water. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the pond below.[1]

Scientists have not classified this frog as not in danger of dying out because of its large range.[1]
