Anomaloglossus tepuyensis is a species of frog in the Aromobatidae family. It is found in southeastern Venezuela (Auyán-tepui region, Mount Roraima) and western Guyana (Mount Ayanganna region).[2] Its natural habitats are tropical rainforests. Males call in the margins of small streams in the forest or near waterfalls in the spray-zone.[1]
Anomaloglossus tepuyensis lays its eggs on land. The tadpoles are carried to water by the adults, where the development is completed. Threats are unknown but it is protected by Canaima National Park.[1]
