Crossodactylodes izecksohni (common name: Izecksohn's bromeliad frog) is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Santa Teresa in Espírito Santo state of eastern Brazil.[2]
The specific name izecksohni honours Eugênio Izecksohn, a Brazilian herpetologist.[3]
It inhabits forests and forest edges where its habitat is terrestrial and epiphytic bromeliads where its tadpoles develop. Its known range is within a protected area but habitat loss is occurring nearby. While its known range is very small, it is locally abundant.[1]
