Gastrotheca flamma is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to northeastern Brazil and only known from its type locality, Serra da Jibóia in the municipality of Santa Teresinha, Bahia.
Habitat The only known specimen was collected at above sea level, the highest elevation of Serra da Jibóia.
Scientists found this frog near a protected place: Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natura Guarirú.
Taxonomy Scientists are not certain whether this is a unique species or some other frog in Gastrotheca.
Threats The IUCN classify this species as data deficient. The Serra contains the area's largest stretch of rainforest, but there are farms and pastures at lower elevations, which has caused habitat fragmentation.
