Anomaloglossus breweri is a species of frog in the Aromobatidae family. It is only know from its type locality, Aprada-tepui in the Bolívar state of southeastern Venezuela. This species was discovered by scientists exploring the inaccessible and remote region of Aprada-tepui. The distinctive features of this species are its particular skin pattern, absence of fringes on fingers, moderate toe webbing, tongue characteristics and yellow and orange coloration on its undersides. It is a fast-moving frog that lives along creeks and in quiet pools along small streams along the slopes near the cave. The frog is named for Charles Brewer-Carías who collected the frog.
