Ctenophryne barbatula

Ctenophryne barbatula is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Peru and only known from the Yanachaga–Chemillén National Park, its type locality in the Pasco Region. The specific name "barbatula" is the diminutive of the Latin "barbatus", meaning "bearded". It refers to the beard-like spines under the lower jaw of males.

Males have white spines in most parts of the body while females have spines only in the region of tympanum (tympanic annulus and tympanic membrane are absent). The dorsum and venter of preserved specimens are uniform brown and lack pattern; the color of live individuals is not known. The fingers and toes have rounded tips; the toes have basal webbing.
