Noblella carrascoicola is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the north-eastern Andean slopes of Bolivia, at least between the Cochabamba and La Paz Departments. Its natural habitats are very humid cloud forest and Yungas forest. At day, they can be found in leaf-litter on the forest floor, or occasionally, epiphytic bromeliads. There are no known threats to this abundant species.
Noblella heyeri is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is found in the Huancabamba Depression in Loja Province, southern Ecuador, and Piura Region, in north-western Peru. Its natural habitat is upper montane forest, in areas bordering pastures and other open areas, but not old growth forest. It is a terrestrial, nocturnal species living in cracks in the ground below the leaf-litter. It is hard to find, but based on the calls, it is common at least in some locations. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is commonly known as Heyer's leaf frog.

Noblella ritarasquinae is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Bolivia and known only from near its type locality in the San Matéo River valley, Chapare Province.

Pseudoeurycea lynchi, commonly known as the Veracruz green salamander, is a species of salamanders in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the central Sierra Madre Oriental in Veracruz and Puebla states, Mexico.
The Strabomantidae are a family of frogs native to South America. These frogs lack a free-living larval stage and hatch directly into miniature "froglets". This family includes Pristimantis, the most speciose genus of any vertebrate.
Noblella duellmani is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Peru and only known from its type locality, Cillapata, at 2,900 m (9,500 ft) asl in the Paucartambo District, Pasco Region.
Noblella is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae. They are found on the eastern slopes of the Andes and in the Amazon Basin in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and western Brazil. The name refers to Gladwyn K. Noble, who described the first species.
Noblella madreselva is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. The species is only known from its type locality, Madre Selva in the La Convención Province, Cusco, Peru.
Psychrophrynella usurpator is a species of frogs in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Peru and known from near Abra Acjanacu, a mountain pass in the Cordillera de Paucartambo, the easternmost Andean range towards the Amazonian lowlands, and from the high elevation grasslands of the Manu National Park. It is named usurpator because these frogs were previously misidentified as Noblella peruviana—in a sense, they had "usurped" the name of another frog species.
María Cristina Ardila-Robayo was a Colombian herpetologist. She was professor at the National University of Colombia, Bogotá, and worked closely with the Natural History Museum of the university. In 2010 she was credited as having described 28 new species of amphibians from Colombia; as of late 2018, the Amphibian Species of the World lists 31 valid species described by her. She also worked with caimans and crocodiles and lead biodiversity restoration projects.
Noblella thiuni is a species of frog in Peru. It is 11 millimetres in length placing it as one of the smallest amphibians in the world. It lives in the leaf litter of a montane forest making it difficult to spot. This minute frog has the dorsum tan with a dark brown X-shaped middorsal mark and dark brown markings, the chest and belly copper reddish with a profusion of silvery spots, the ventral surfaces of legs bright red, and the throat and palmar and plantar surfaces brown. The species was discovered in 2017 near Thiuni, in the province of Carabaya, Department of Puno, in the upper watershed of a tributary of the Inambari River, Peru, and is known only from a single specimen.
