Gastrotheca lauzuricae is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Bolivia.

Habitat This arboreal frog is found in montane cloud forests. Scientists have seen the frog between and above sea level.

There is a protected place where the frog lives, Parque Nacional Carrasco.

Taxonomy Scientists removed this species from synonomy with Hyla splendens in 1992.

Reproduction Scientists infer the female frog carries her eggs in a bag of skin on her back, like other frogs in Gastrotheca.

Threats Scientists from the IUCN say they do not know if this frog is in danger of dying out. Human beings change the places where the frogs live to make farms and places to raise animals.
