Gastrotheca atympana

Gastrotheca atympana is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Peru and only known from its type locality in the Pampa Hermosa National Sanctuary, Junín Region. It lacks an external tympanum, hence the specific name "atympana".

The dorsal skin is finely shagreen. The iris is pale yellowish tan above and pale gray below and has black reticulations.
Habitat and conservation.
"Gastrotheca atympana" inhabits humid montane primary forest at about above sea level. It has been collected in dense forest on tree branches some 1.2 meters above the ground.
"Gastrotheca atympana" is only known from two individuals collected in 2003 and 2004, despite regular searches. Outside the Pampa Hermosa National Sanctuary, potential threats to this species are illegal logging, slash and burn agriculture, mining activities and road construction. There is a risk of these activities to encroach the reserve.
