Eupsophus contulmoensis is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Chile. [2] [1]
This frog is found under logs and rocks in Nothofagus forests. Scientists observed this frog between 50 and 740 meters above sea level. [2]
This frog has been found in one protected place: Contulmo National Monument. [1]
The female frog lays eggs in shallow holes. [1]
The IUCN classifies this frog as endangered. The principal threat is habitat loss in favor of pine and eucalyptus plantations. Human-set fires and tourism also cause problems. [1]
