Physalaemus kroyeri is a species of frog in the Leptodactylidae family. It is endemic to northeastern Brazil.[2]
Physalaemus kroyeri is a very common, terrestrial frog. Its natural habitat is dry "Caatinga" savanna. It also occupies open areas where the Atlantic forest has been cleared. It is usually found near temporary ponds or in the water. It breeds in these temporary ponds, building a foam nest.[1]
