Engystomops pustulatus (common name: Guayaquil dwarf frog) is a species of frog in the Leptodactylidae family. It is found in southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru.[2] It inhabits scrub savanna, Pacific tropical forest and equatorial dry forest. It can also be found in human-modified habitats. It is an explosive breeder that lays eggs in a foam nest in temporary pools. Though adaptable, it is potentially threatened by habitat loss.[1]
