The Arrabal's Suriname toad (Pipa arrabali) is a species of frog in the family Pipidae found in Brazil, Guyana,[2] Suriname, Venezuela, and possibly Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, ponds, and canals and ditches. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]

The embryo of P. arrabali lacks a jaw sheath and labial teeth, unlike most tadpoles.[3]
