Gastrotheca antoniiochoai is a rare species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Peru and only known from near its type locality near the Wayqecha Biological Station (Cusco Region).[1][2] It has been collected from cloud forest at elevations of about 2,817–2,845 m (9,242–9,334 ft) above sea level.
