Telmatobius timens is a species of frogs in the family Telmatobiidae. It is found in western Bolivia and southeastern Peru at elevations of 3,350–3,750 m (10,990–12,300 ft) asl.[1][2]

Its natural habitats are humid puna grassland, elfin forest, Polylepis forest, and scrubland edges. Tadpoles develop in streams. Due to its population decline, the species is now listed as critically endangered.[1]
