Pseudopaludicola atragula is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil.
Habitat This frog is found in humid habitats within the Cerrado biome, near places where groundwater upwelling creates temporary and permanent ponds and in swamps with many herbaceous plants. It has shown some tolerance to anthropogenic disturbance, often found in pastures, watering holes, and cattle footprints. Scientists have seen it between above sea level.
Reproduction The male frog sits and calls to the female frogs. The female frog deposits her eggs in still water. The tadpoles swim in the water.
Threats The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. In some areas, it is subject to habitat loss associated with large-scale agriculture, dam construction, and fires.
