Nymphargus rosada explained

Nymphargus rosada is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae, formerly placed in Cochranella. It is endemic to Colombia where it is known from the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Central.^[1] Its natural habitats are sub-Andean forests alongside streams. It is threatened by habitat fragmentation and loss caused by agricultural expansion, timber extraction, and water pollution.

Nymphargus rosada are relatively small frogs: adult males measure 24mm28mm in snout–vent length. The skin of the dorsum is finely shagreen with small pustules. Vomerine teeth are absent.^[2]

The frog's range includes at least one protected park, including the Ranita Dorada Amphibian Reserve.^[3]
