Odontophrynus occidentalis (common name: Cururu lesser escuercito) is a species of frog in the family Odontophrynidae. It is endemic to western and central Argentina.[1][2] Its natural habitats are montane forests, rocky outcrops, and shrubland. Breeding takes place in permanent streams; the development of the tadpoles takes about eight months. It tolerates habitat change but is threatened by water pollution and fires caused by agriculture and mining.[1]
