Boulenger's backpack frog (Cryptobatrachus boulengeri) is a species of frogs in the family Hemiphractidae.
It is endemic to Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia.[2] The name honours George Albert Boulenger, an eminent herpetologist.[3]
It is found on rocks within fast-flowing streams in montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by agriculture, logging, and infrastructure development. Deforestation around streams is a particular threat.[1]
