Vernacular names
English: Bromeliad Frogs

Crossodactylodes (common name: bromeliad frogs) is a genus of leptodactylid frogs from the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil.[1]

Most Crossodactylodes are Atlantic Forest species closely associated with bromeliads where they complete their entire life cycle, including the larval development. However, Crossodactylodes itambe inhabits rupicolous (rock-dwelling) bromeliads in open field habitats at higher altitudes.[2]
Species

There are five species:[1]

Crossodactylodes bokermanni Peixoto, 1983
Crossodactylodes itambe Barata, Santos, Leite, and Garcias, 2013
Crossodactylodes izecksohni Peixoto, 1983
Crossodactylodes pintoi Cochran, 1938
Crossodactylodes septentrionalis Teixeira, Recoder, Amaro, Damasceno, Cassimiro, and Rodrigues, 2013
