Cycloramphus faustoi is a species of frog in the Cycloramphidae family. It is endemic to Ilha dos Alcatrazes, a 1.5 km2 (0.58 sq mi) island about 35 km off the coast of São Paulo state, Brazil.[3]
Cycloramphus faustoi are known from a small valley in a dry stream bed, bordered by Atlantic forest. It appears to be scarce. The habitat is threatened by fires caused by artillery training activities.[1]
Reproduction seems to occur in August. Females guard their egg clutch.[1]
