Leptodactylus mystaceus, also known as the common toad-frog, is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in northern South America. This frog lives in many parts of the Amazon Basin, including many protected areas. It has been found in primary and secondary forest, grasslands within forests, and flooded areas. It lives on the ground near temporary bodies of water. Scientists saw the frog between 0 and 1000 meters above sea level.
The male frog digs a hole in a muddy area. The female frog makes a foam nest for her eggs. The tadpoles swim and develop in water. The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. In some parts of its range, it is subject to habitat loss associated with fire, logging, agriculture, and urbanization, but the frog has shown a good tolerance to anthropogenic disturbance.

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Basin White-lipped Frog sighting in Brownsberg Nature Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 17th most-seen of the 18 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and October
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Basin White-lipped Frog in Brownsberg Nature Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, the lowest month. Those are among Brownsberg Nature Park's driest months, with about 110 mm of rain a month against 490 mm in May. June and August–September have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Basin White-lipped Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Brownsberg Nature Park, in our data
Brownsberg Nature Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Basin White-lipped Frog sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Leptodactylus
The closest relatives of the Basin White-lipped Frog that you can see in Brownsberg Nature Park (genus Leptodactylus, Neotropical Grass Frogs) are Knudsen's Thin-toed Frog (about 50%), Guiana White-lipped Frog (about 40%) and Loreto White-lipped Frog (about 40%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Basin White-lipped Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Brownsberg Nature Park (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
