Proceratophrys dibernardoi is a species of frog in the faily Odontophrynidae. It is endemic to Brazil.[2][3][1]
Habitat
This frog has been found on the leaf litter near streams in open areas and riparian forest. Because it has also been seen in pasture and soybean plantations, scientists think it could tolerate some habitat disturbance. Scientists observed the frog between 520 and 855 meters above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in some protected areas: Área de Proteção Ambiental Rio Araguaia, Córrego Rico, Couto Magalhães and Rio Araguainha, Parque Estadual Matas do Segredo, and Parque Estadual Serra Azul.[1]
Threats
The IUCN classifies this species as least concern of extinction. The principal threats are habitat loss associated with agriculture and livestock grazing. Humans also use fire to change the forest to fields.[1]
