Santa cecilia cochran frog
Teratohyla midas (common name: Santa Cecilia Cochran frog) is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in the Amazon Basin of western Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia. There are, at least seemingly, isolated occurrences in French Guiana and in Maranhão (northeastern Brazil).
The specific name midas refers to King Midas. This name alludes to the gold flecks on these frogs, as well as to the Aguarico River, near which they were first found—Aguarico means "rich water" and refers to gold found in the river.
