Adenomera cotuba, the Teresina de Goiás tropical bullfrog, is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil.
This frog is found in Cerrado biomes and in rocky areas with limestone, such as savannas and dry forests. Scientists have seen it between 275 and 840 m (902 and 2,756 ft) above sea level.
Scientists have reported these frogs in protected places, including Área de Preservação Ambiental Pouso Alto and Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros.
Scientists believe this frog puts its eggs in nests made out of bubbles. Scientists think the tadpoles grow in the nest.
The IUCN classifies this frog as near threatened. It is endemic to a large deforestation arc that is subject to ongoing land conversion. The frog lives in savanna grassland and dry forests, which people convert to intensive agriculture. Hydroelectric projects may also be a danger to this frog.
