About Batrachyla antartandica Barrio, 1967

Batrachyla antartandica is a species of frog that belongs to the family Batrachylidae. This species is native to Argentina and Chile. For reproduction, female Batrachyla antartandica lay their eggs on the ground, beneath logs or moss. After egg-laying, incoming rainfall floods the area where the eggs were laid, and the tadpoles complete their development in this floodwater. Parental care has been observed in this species.
