About Adenomera andreae (Müller, 1923)
Adenomera andreae are small frogs, with adult body length typically measuring less than 30 mm (1.2 in). Their dorsum ranges from grayish brown to beige; it occasionally features dark brown spots, and more rarely may have a dark brown vertebral stripe and/or an orangish yellow dorsolateral stripe. Their ventral body surfaces are white, and their irises are chestnut in color. This species lays its eggs in foam nests constructed on the ground. Tadpoles of this species are terrestrial, endotrophic, and complete their development entirely within the nest. Juvenile recruitment occurs in sync with rainfall. Large tarantulas are known predators of Adenomera andreae. As a terrestrial species, it inhabits lowland primary forests with well-drained soil, and has been recorded at elevations between 0 and 400 m (0 and 1,312 ft) above sea level. Many of its subpopulations are found within protected areas.
