Pleurodema borellii (common name: rufous four-eyed frog) is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in northwestern Argentina and southern Bolivia. The taxonomic status of this species is uncertain, and it may be a junior synonym of Pleurodema cinerea.
Habitat It is abundant in Argentina, occurring in the Chaco-Yungas transition and montane grasslands on the eastern slopes of the Andes. It is also found in disturbed habitats, including urban areas. Scientists have seen it between above sea level. No major threats to this species have been identified.
Reproduction The male frog sits at the edge or in the water and calls to the female frogs. Pairs make a floating foam nest for their eggs.
