Rupirana is a genus of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae.[2] It is monotypic, being represented by the singles species Rupirana cardosoi.[3] The specific name cardosoi honors Adão José Cardoso, a Brazilian herpetologist.[4] It is endemic to northern Espinhaço Mountains, Bahia, Brazil.[2] Its natural habitats are banks of small streams in high-altitude (about 1,200 m (3,900 ft) asl) grassy vegetation. It is threatened by habitat loss. Part of the range is within the Chapada Diamantina National Park.[1]
