Pristimantis phragmipleuron

Pristimantis phragmipleuron is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to Colombia where it is only from its type locality, Pan de AzĂșcar, Cordillera Central, in the Antioquia Department.[2][3] Its natural habitat is tropical cloud forest. It is a rare species threatened by habitat loss; the habitat at the type locality has badly suffered from human settlement and the collection of firewood.[1]
