Crossodactylodes (common name: bromeliad frogs) is a genus of leptodactylid frogs from the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil.[1]

Most Crossodactylodes are Atlantic Forest species closely associated with bromeliads where they complete their entire life cycle, including the larval development. However, Crossodactylodes itambe inhabits rupicolous (rock-dwelling) bromeliads in open field habitats at higher altitudes.[2]
