Pseudopaludicola restinga is a species of amphibian in the family Leptodactylidae, which is found in the coastal region of Espírito Santo, Brazil.
It can be differentiated from the other species of the genus Pseudopaludicola by a number of factors, such as its size, body shape, vocalization pattern, and number of chromosomes. Males have an average length between 11 and 14 millimeters, and females between 14 and 16 millimeters. Males vocalize during the night, right after long rains, with calls consisting of two pulses.
It was described on May 16, 2018, by a group of five researchers in the scientific journal PeerJ. Although it is only being described now, there were already reports of the species since 2011, where it was treated as Pseudopaludicola falcipes species affinis. Its specific epithet derives from the Portuguese word restinga, which designates the biome where it is found. It may be threatened by the creation of ports and by oil and natural gas exploration in the region and by general coastal development, including farms, pasturage, tourism infrastructure, and military installations.
