Alsodes barrioi is a species of frog in the Alsodidae family, endemic to Chile; it is only known from its type locality in the Cordillera de Nahuelbuta, Malleco Province.[2] However, it is relatively abundant at the type locality. These frogs can be found under logs or stones close to mountain streams. The surrounding vegetation mainly comprises Nothofagus dombeyi and Araucaria araucana. The habitat is being afforested by introduced pines, and harvesting these would have dramatic consequences for the streams where these frogs breed.[1]
