Sachatamia is a small genus of glass frogs. They are found in Central America (Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama) and northern South America (Colombia and northwestern Ecuador) at altitudes below above sea level.
The generic name Sachatamia is derived from the Quichua words sacha for "forest" and tamia for "rain". This is a reference to the tropical rainforest habitat of these frogs. Sachatamia inhabit rainforests. The males call while sitting on leaves or rocks. The pigmented eggs are deposited on leaves or rocks.
