Elachistocleis ovalis (common name: common oval frog, Template:Lang-es) is a species of frog in the Microhylidae family. Technically, Elachistocleis ovalis is species inquirenda, and it is not known to which population the name applies. The Amphibian Species of the World restricts this species to Panama, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago, and Bolivia. Frogs from Brazil has been allocated to other species.[2]
Elachistocleis ovalis lives in leaf litter and in tree holes in tropical rainforests and on the forest edges, grasslands, and shrublands. It breeds in ponds where eggs and larvae develop.[1]
