It is endemic to Peru where it is only known from two lacalities ((Chontilla, Pasco, and Serrania de Sira, Huánuco)). It is an inhabitant of forest floor of the Amazonian flanks of the Andes. Reproduction takes place in foam nests in temporary ponds. Leptodactylus pascoensis is not an uncommon species but its range is small and it suffers from habitat loss caused by increased agricultural activity. 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). |
