Leptodactylus pascoensis is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Peru where it is only known from two localities ((Chontilla, Pasco, and Serrania de Sira, Huánuco)).[3] It is an inhabitant of forest floor of the Amazonian flanks of the Andes. Reproduction takes place in foam nests in temporary ponds.[1]
Leptodactylus pascoensis is not an uncommon species but its range is small and it suffers from habitat loss caused by increased agricultural activity.[1]
Male Leptodactylus pascoensis grow to a snout–vent length of 60–61 mm (2.4–2.4 in) and females to 52–67 mm (2.0–2.6 in).[2]
