Cochranella granulosa

Granular glassfrog

Reticulated eye

Its pale iris is crossed by a fine dark network that stands out against the head.

Granular dorsum

Its dorsal skin is not smooth: it forms a dense microrelief of tiny granules visible even at close range.

Eggs on leaves

Like other glass frogs in the group, it places egg masses on leaves hanging above streams.

Riparian call

Males call at night from leaves and branches above forested streams.

Distribution

In Colombia it is known from Choco, within a broader distribution extending from Honduras to northwestern Ecuador.
