Flectonotus pygmaeus

Description

Flectonotus pygmaeus (common name: Puerto Cabello treefrog, Spanish: ranita marsupial pigmea) is a species of frog in the Hemiphractidae family. It is found on the Mérida Andes and Venezuelan Coastal Range in Venezuela and on adjacent eastern slopes of the northern Cordillera Oriental in Colombia. Its natural habitats are pre-montane humid forests. It is strongly associated with bromeliads, and can survive in degraded forest if bromeliads are present. It is threatened by deforestation, and locally, collection of bromeliads.
