Crossodactylus boulengeri is a frog. It lives in the Serra do Mar mountain range. It lives in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and in parts of Argentina.[1][2]

For some time, scientists thought this frog was the same frog as Crossodactylus dispar. In 2014, they found they really are two different species of frog.[3]
