Nyctimantis rugiceps, commonly known as the brown-eyed treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. [2] It is known from the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia, and it is likely to also occur in adjacent Brazil.

Nyctimantis rugiceps breeds in bamboo and tree holes. Females raise the tadpoles on trophic (unfertilized) eggs. [1]
