Gastrotheca testudinea

Nototrema testudineum Jiménez de la Espada, 1870 Nototrema viviparum Andersson, 1945 Gastrotheca viviparum (Andersson, 1945) Gastrotheca testudinea (common name: Espada's marsupial frog) is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae.

It has a widespread latitudinal range along the eastern (Amazonian) slopes of the Andes of Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.

[2][3] An arboreal direct-development marsupial frog, G. testudinea dwells in foothill, low montane, and cloud forests at elevations from 700–2,775 m (2,297–9,104 ft) above sea level.

[3] Despite its wide distribution, Gastrotheca testudinea is seldom collected or recorded, probably due to its arboreal habits, and much remains to be known about its distribution and natural history.
