Wikipedia Abstract

Hyloxalus delatorreae is a species of frog in the Dendrobatidae family. It is endemic to the western slopes of the Andes in extreme northern Ecuador. It is only known from four nearby locations in the Carchi Province. Its natural habitats are wetlands and bogs, and it can also be found on areas of cattle ranching surrounded by forest remnants, at elevations of 2,340–3,000 m (7,680–9,840 ft) asl. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by agriculture and logging.
