Gastrotheca ochoai Duellman
and Fritts, 1972[2] |
Gastrotheca ochoai is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to southern Peru and occurs in the interandean valleys on the eastern face of the Andes.[3] The specific name ochoai honors Oscar Ochoa Mendieta, a biology professor from the National University of Saint Anthony the Abbot in Cuzco who helped the species descriptors during the field work.[2][4] Common name Chilca marsupial frog has been coined for this species.[1][3]
