Adenomera thomei is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil. ^{[2] [3] [1]}

Habitat

This frog lives in Atlantic forest biomes. People also see them in forest fragments and in disturbed areas, such as next to cacao plantations. They tend to be found on sandy ground and on the leaf litter between 0 and 100 m (0 and 328 ft) meters above sea level. ^[1]
