Engystomops coloradorum (common name: Colorado dwarf frog) is a species of frog in the Leptodactylidae family. It is endemic to the Pacific lowlands and foothills of the Andes in Ecuador.[2] Its natural habitats are tropical moist forests and more open, altered habitats. It breeds in small still waterbodies where it makes foam nests. Though adaptable, it is probably threatened by habitat loss.[1]
