Pithecopus ayeaye, also known as the reticulated leaf frog[4] and reticulate leaf frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It is endemic to Brazil.[1][3] P. ayeaye is found in the transition zone between cerrado (tropical woodland-savanna) and Atlantic semi-deciduous forest,[5] laying its eggs on leaves above streams or pools so the tadpoles, when hatched, fall into the water below. This species is under threat from habitat loss resulting from mining activity and fires, and is also affected by pollution from mining and pesticides. Its restricted range is likely to make it particularly vulnerable to these threats.[1]
