Cochranella resplendens is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in the upper Amazon Basin in southern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and San Martín Region of northern Peru.[1][2][3][4] It is sometimes known as the resplendent Cochran frog.[2]

Description[]

Male measures about 27 mm (1.1 in) in snout–vent length; female size is unknown. Dorsum is green with whitish dots.[4]

Habitat and conservation[]

The species' natural habitats are lowland tropical primary and secondary rainforests as well as sub-Andean forests. It occurs on vegetation near running water. The eggs are laid on leaves above streams. Outside the breeding season it might inhabit the forest canopy.[1] It is a rare species[4] threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation.[1] Its rarity, however, may be an artefact caused by inadequate methods to observe it.[4]
