Telmatobius brevipes is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, arable land, and canals and ditches.

Geographic distribution

It is found in Peru; it is a species present in the western cordillera, in the departments of Cajamarca and La Libertad, between 2000 and 3520 m altitude.

Threats

Contamination of water bodies can be a local threat. Other species of the same genus found at high altitudes are very susceptible to chytridiomycosis, so it is inferred that this disease is a threat to Telmatobius brevipes.

<i>Telmatobius macrostomus</i> Species of amphibian

Telmatobius macrostomus, also known as the Lake Junin (giant) frog or Andes smooth frog, is a very large and endangered species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. This completely aquatic frog is endemic to lakes and associated waters at altitudes of 4,000–4,600 m (13,100–15,100 ft) in the Andes of Junín and Pasco in central Peru. It has been introduced to slow-moving parts of the upper Mantaro River, although it is unclear if this population still persists.

The Ancash water frog is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland and rivers with stony bottoms and weak currents. This species has been assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN under criteria B1ab(iii,v), and has an extent of occurrence of 16,946 km2 across the Central Peruvian Andes at altitudes of 3,680–4,818 m asl. All populations occur in different hydrographic systems, and could qualify as being quite fragmented in its distribution, and though not specifically recorded, anthropogenic pressures such as pollution from mining concessions, collection for food and possible chytrid infection.
