Nymphargus rosada is a species of frog in the Centrolenidae family, formerly placed in Cochranella. It is endemic to Colombia where it is known from the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Central.[2] Its natural habitats are sub-Andean forests alongside streams. It is threatened by habitat fragmentation and loss caused by agricultural expansion, timber extraction, and water pollution.[1]
Nymphargus rosada are relatively small frogs: adult males measure 24–28 mm (0.94–1.10 in) in snout–vent length. The skin of the dorsum is finely shagreen with small pustules. Vomerine teeth are absent.[3]
