Crossodactylodes (common name: bromeliad frogs) is a genus of leptodactylid frogs from the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil.
Most Crossodactylodes are Atlantic Forest species closely associated with epiphytic bromeliads where they complete their entire life cycle, including the larval development. However, Crossodactylodes itambe inhabits rupicolous (rock-dwelling) bromeliads in open field habitats at higher altitudes.
Species There are five species: Crossodactylodes bokermanni Peixoto, 1983 Crossodactylodes itambe Barata, Santos, Leite, and Garcias, 2013 Crossodactylodes izecksohni Peixoto, 1983 Crossodactylodes pintoi Cochran, 1938 Crossodactylodes septentrionalis Teixeira, Recoder, Amaro, Damasceno, Cassimiro, and Rodrigues, 2013
