Eupsophus roseus, the rosy ground frog, is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Chile. Its natural habitats are temperate forest, rivers, swampland, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.[2][3][1]
Scientists found this frog in forests with Nothofagus plants and on pine tree farms, where they are found on the leaf litter. The frogs occur between 50 and 1200 meters above sea level.[2][1]
The frog was ovserved inside some protected parks: Monumento Natural Cerro Ñielol, Parque Nacional Nahuelbuta, Monumento Natural de Contulmo, Reserva Nacional Nonguén, and Reserva Costera Valdiviana.[1]
