Phyllomedusa camba or the black-eyed monkey frog is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru.[2] It has been observed between 280 and 1000 meters above sea level.[3][1]
The adult frog measures 60.8 mm (2.39 in) to 69.6 mm (2.74 in) in
snout-vent length. It has disks on its toes for climbing. The skin of the dorsum is green with yellow marks around its eyes. It has pink-white spots on its flanks and white spots on the inner surfaces of its legs. Parts of its legs and middle are purple.[3]
This frog is
primary forest and in secondary forest. When it is time to lay eggs, the frogs leave the forest and go to a swamp if they can.[3] The female frog makes a nest out of foam on a leaf. When the eggs hatch, they fall into the water below.[1]
Scientists say this frog is not endangered because of its large range and because of its at least partial tolerance to altered habitats.[1]
The scientific name of this frog, "camba," comes from the
indigenous people who live in Bolivia.[3]
