"Cochranella" xanthocheridia is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It has an uncertain generic placement ( incertae sedis ) within subfamily Centroleninae; [2] [3] molecular data are not available and morphological and behavioural characters do not unambiguously place it in any specific genus. [3]
Cochranella xanthocheridia is endemic to Colombia [2] and known from the Cordillera Occidental in the Córdoba, Antioquia, and Risaralda Departments at elevations of 480–2,060 m (1,570–6,760 ft) asl. [4]
The species' natural habitats are tropical rain forests of the Andean foothills and montane forests. [4] It is threatened by habitat loss caused by agricultural expansion and timber extraction, and by water pollution. [1]
