The Maracas dwarf frog (Physalaemus cicada) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.
The frog lives on the ground in Caatinga places. People find it near water. Scientists have seen this frog 200 m (660 ft) above sea level. Scientists have seen the frog in protected places.
Scientists think the adult frog makes a nest out of bubbles for the eggs and that the tadpoles swim in the water. The male frog sits in the water, next to the water, or on water plants. The tadpoles are awake at night and live on the bottom of the pond in shallow water with water plants in it.
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in big danger of dying out. The frogs might be in some danger where human beings change the places where the frog lives to make farms and places for humans' animals.
