Leptodactylus leptodactyloides is a species of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae. Its local name is sapito leptodactilo ("slender-fingered toadlet"). It is found in the greater Amazon Basin and the Guianas (Bolivia, Brazil , Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela).[1][2] Leptodactylus leptodactyloides occurs in a range of habitats: savannas, open areas, forest edges, and secondary and primary lowland forest. Reproduction takes place in temporary waterbodies.[1]

Male Leptodactylus leptodactyloides grow to a snout–vent length of 28–48 mm (1.1–1.9 in) and females to 35–57 mm (1.4–2.2 in).[3]
