Herveo Plump Toad

The Herveo plump toad (Osornophryne percrassa) is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to the Cordillera Central in the Antioquia, Caldas, Quindío, and Tolima Departments, Colombia.

 Osornophryne percrassa are relatively small toads: males measure and females in snout–vent length. It differs from other Osornophryne by its truncated snout in lateral view, with a little non-projected papilla at the end, and by its light spots on the belly.

Habitat and conservation: Its natural habitats are Andean forests and páramos at elevations of asl. It is a ground-dwelling species found among leaf-litter and rocks, or in terrestrial and arboreal bromeliads. Development is direct. It is an uncommon species threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, mainly from agriculture, and by pollution from the fumigation of illegal crops. Climate change might also pose a threat. The species is known from a number of protected areas.
