Gastrotheca marsupiata is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is found in the Amazonian drainage systems of Andes from central Peru to southern Bolivia. Its common names are marsupian frog, common marsupial frog, and for now synonymized Leptodactylus/Eleutherodactylus andicola, Boettger's robber frog.

Scientists have reported the frog in Carrasco National Park, Tunari National Park, Cotapata National Park, and Pilon Lajas National Park. They believe it may also live in Huayllay National Sanctuary, Ampay National Sanctuary, Junin National Reserve, Chacamarca Historical Sanctuary, and Apurimac Reserved Zone.
This frog reproduces in still water. The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. In some places, it is in danger from habitat loss from fires and agriculture. Scientists believe climate change could affect this species as well. Scientists have detected the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on some of these frogs in 1987, 2000, and 2001, but they...

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Marsupian Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in La Paz (22 verified sightings), 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.
