Strabomantis ingeri, also known commonly as Inger's robber frog, is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. The species is native to Colombia.
Geographic range
[edit]S. ingeri is found on the eastern and western slopes of the Cordillera Oriental, Colombia (Cundinamarca, Santander, and Norte de Santander Departments).[2][3] Its altitudinal range is 1,550–3,320 m (5,090–10,890 ft) asl.[3] It may also occur in adjacent Venezuela.[2]
Etymology
[edit]S. ingeri is named after Robert F. Inger, an American zoologist from the Field Museum of Natural History.[4]
Habitat
[edit]The natural habitat of S. ingeri is leaf-litter in cloud forest; it can occur in disturbed areas provided that small patches of forest remain nearby. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging and agricultural development.[1]
