Anomaloglossus tepuyensis is a species of frog in the Aromobatidae family. It is found in southeastern Venezuela (Auyán-tepui region, Mount Roraima) and western Guyana (Mount Ayanganna region).[2] Its natural habitats are tropical rainforests. Males call in the margins of small streams in the forest or near waterfalls in the spray-zone.[1]
Anomaloglossus tepuyensis lays its eggs on land. The tadpoles are carried to water by the adults, where the development is completed.[1]
