Distribution: Oxyrhopus marcapatae is only known from southern Peru ( Alonso et al., 2001).

Habitat, time of activity, feeding, and reproduction: Available information indicates that this is a terrestrial and nocturnal species (N = 3; J. Icochea, unpublished data). Additionally, five individuals were found in cloud forests at night (at Wayrapata; elevation about 2445 m), with no indication whether they were active ( Alonso et al., 2001). One male found by J. Icochea was 365 + 108 mm ( SVL + TL). Nothing else is known about the ecology of O. marcapatae .
