Odontophrynus cultripes is a species of frog in the family Odontophrynidae. It is endemic to southeastern Brazil and known from Minas Gerais, Goiás, and São Paulo states.[2][3][4][1]
Males measure 50–60 mm (2.0–2.4 in) and females 45–70 mm (1.8–2.8 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is vertical in profile. The parotoid glands are large and ovoid. The male advertisement call is composed of a single, multi-pulsed note.[2] This frog has prominent eyes. There is no webbed skin on the front feet. Instead, it has a shovel-shaped front toe that it uses to burrow. The dorsal surfaces of the head, back, and legs are brown in color with lighter brown color on the head and some black on the legs and back. It has large, brown warts and yellow pigmentation on the flanks. The belly is yellow with some brown. The male frog has a brown throat. [4]
