Leptodactylus gaigeae Cochran, 1938 Paratelmatobius pictiventris A. Lutz in B. Lutz and Carvalho, 1958 Paratelmatobius gaigeae (common name: Gaige's rapids frog) is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae.

[2] Paratelmatobius gaigeae is named after Helen Beulah Thompson Gaige, an American herpetologist.

[3] Its natural habitats are montane forests.

It is a terrestrial frog that probably breeds in temporary ponds or streams.

It is threatened by habitat loss; logging might have already caused extirpation of this species from its type locality, Bonito in the Serra da Bocaina.
