Psychrophrynella wettsteini species without known major threats. Psychrophrynella wettsteini Psychrophrynella wettsteini is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to Bolivia and only known from the region of Unduavi in the Unduavi Valley, Sud Yungas Province, La Paz Department. Common name Wettstein's Andes frog has been coined for it.

The snout is rounded. The tympanic membrane is absent, whereas the tympanic annulus is visible through the skin. Tips of the
Semipermeable membrane the rate and the permeability. Many natural and synthetic materials thicker than a membrane are also semipermeable. One example of this is the thin film on the inside of the egg. Note that a semipermeable membrane is not the same as a selectively permeable membrane. Semipermeable membrane describes a membrane that allows some particles to pass through (by size), whereas the selectively permeable membrane "chooses" what passes through (size is not a factor). An example of a biological semi-permeable membrane is the lipid bilayer, on which is based on the plasma membrane that surrounds all biological cells. A group of
