Brachycephalus nodoterga, also known as the Serra Cantareira saddleback toad, is a species of

Atlantic rainforest at altitudes of 700–900 m (2,300–3,000 ft).[3][4]

Description

Adult males measure about 12 mm (0.5 in) and adult females about 13 mm (0.5 in) in

B. ephippium and B. pernix, studies of B. nodoterga have not detected toxins in its skin or organs.[7]

Habitat and conservation

Little is known about its behavior, but like other

IUCN in 2004 where regarded as data deficient (insufficient information for rating it),[1] but an independent review in 2019 that used IUCN's criteria recommended that B. nodoterga should be recognised as vulnerable.[3]
