Overview
Pristimantis labiosus is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, moist montane forests, and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Cutín trompudo faces significant threats from habitat loss due to deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its Andean cloud forest range. The species' restricted elevational distribution and fragmented populations make it particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts, which are altering the temperature and moisture conditions of its specialized montane habitat.
Habitat
This species inhabits Andean cloud forests and humid montane forests between 1,500-2,800 meters elevation, particularly areas with dense vegetation, high humidity, and abundant leaf litter. It is typically found in primary and secondary forests with thick canopy cover that maintains the cool, moist microclimate conditions essential for its survival.
