Cryptobatrachus is a genus of frogs in the family Hemiphractidae. They are found in Colombia and Venezuela.[1][2] They are also known as backpack frogs,[1] as the females have the habit of carrying their egg clutch on their backs until the young hatch; this behavior also occurs in the related hemiphractid genera Hemiphractus and Stefania.[3][4]
