Telmatobius necopinus is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru.[1][2][3]
This semi-aquatic frog lives in riparian habitats. Scientists know it from the type locality in the Cordillera Central mountains. Scientists found them under rocks in streams in cloud forests and in roadside ditches. They found it 2050 meters above sea level.[1][2]
The frog lives in one protected area: Alto Mayo Protection Forest.[1]
