Pseudopaludicola falcipes (Hensel’s swamp frog) is a species of frog in the Leptodactylidae family. It is found in southern Brazil, southeastern Paraguay and Uruguay as well as northeastern Argentina.[2] It is found in grasslands, and also in rice plantations. It breeds in temporary pools and ditches. It adapts well to disturbed habitats and, given its wide distribution, is not considered threatened.[1]
