Edalorhina nasuta (common snouted frog) is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Peru.[2][3]
Description
[edit]The adult frog measures 32 - 38 mm in snout-vent length. It has a cryptic appearance, resembling a leaf to the human eye. Its skin is brown with warty bumps in the shape of an X and a protuberance on the nose. The hind feet have some webbed skin.[3]
Etymology
[edit]Scientists named the frog nasula, which means "long-nosed" in Latin.[3]
Habitat
[edit]This terrestrial frog is found on the leaf litter in forests. Scientists have seen the frog between 220 and 1,000 m (720 and 3,280 ft) above sea level.[3][1]
Scientists have not seen the frogs in any protected areas, but they believe it might live in Yanachaga-Chemillén National Park or El Sira Communal Reserve.[1]
Reproduction
[edit]Scientists believe this frog lays eggs in foam nests.[1]
Threats
[edit]The IUCN classifies this species as data deficient. Some of the frogs may be in danger from habitat loss associated with agriculture, particularly coffee plantations.[1]
