Niceforonia adenobrachia is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the Cordillera Central, Colombia, in the Caldas and Tolima Departments. [2] [3]

Niceforonia adenobrachia occurs in sub-páramo and páramo habitats at 3,100–3,400 m (10,200–11,200 ft) asl. [3] It is threatened by burning of páramo for cattle grazing. [1]
