Rulyrana saxiscandens

Cochranella saxiscandens Duellman and Schulte, 1993 Cochranella tangarana Duellman and Schulte, 1993 Cochranella croceopodes Duellman and Schulte, 1993 Rulyrana saxiscandens is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae.

It is endemic to the Cordillera Escalera, Peru, approximately between the cities of Tarapoto and Moyobamba.

[2][3] The delimitation of this species underwent a major change in 2014 when Rulyrana saxiscandens (originally Cochranella saxiscandens), Cochranella tangarana and Cochranella croceopodes were found to represent the same species.

Using the Principle of the First Reviser, Evan Twomey and colleagues chose C. tangarana and C. croceopodes as junior synonyms of Rulyrana saxiscandens.

[3] Rulyrana saxiscandens have been found along streams and creeks and in the spray zones of waterfalls at elevations between 517–1,047 m (1,696–3,435 ft) above sea level.
