Critically Endangered
Noblella madreselva
Noblella madreselva
Noblella madreselva is a rainfrog in the family Craugastoridae (order Anura), recorded as Critically Endangered and tied to Peru.
Appearance
The holotype, an adult male, measures 16 mm (0.6 in) in snout–vent length, while the paratype, an adult female, measures 18 mm (0.7 in). The snout is short and rounded, bluntly so in lateral view. The dorsal coloration is tan to dull brown, with or without dark brown markings.
Range and habitat
Even so, the region of its type locality is partially protected by various reserves.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Direct-developing rainfrogs live in wet forest. They do not need a pond, which is why a logged hillside can erase a species.
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
In crisis
Noblella madreselva is threatened by habitat loss and modification associated with agricultural activities in the region.
Direct-developing frogs vanish with the forest floor. There is no pond population waiting off-site.
Noblella madreselva is Critically Endangered on this catalog because that is the IUCN category stored on Wikidata. Confirm the official criteria and any later count on iucnredlist.org.
