Anomaloglossus roraima is a species of frog in the Aromobatidae family. It is found on the tepui of southeastern Venezuela and western Guyana; it is expected to be found in the nearby Brazil. Its type locality is Mount Roraima. It mainly inhabits large bromeliads in tepui scrub and high-tepui meadows at elevations between 1,860–2,700 m (6,100–8,860 ft) asl.[2] The population status is unknown but it is thought to be rare and threatened by disturbance by tourists. The species occurs in Canaima National Park.[1]
