Cochranella resplendens
Species of frog
Cochranella resplendens is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae.[1][2][3][4] It is found in the upper Amazon Basin in southwestern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, northern Peru (Loreto and San Martín Region), and Bolivia (La Paz Department). There are also isolated records from the Cordillera Central in Antioquia, Colombia, and Amapá in northern Brazil.[2] The specific name resplendens is derived from the Latin verb resplendo (="to glitter") and hints to the jewel-like appearance of this frog.[5] It is sometimes known as the resplendent Cochran frog or resplendent glassfrog.[2][5]
