Osteocephalus duellmani is a frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Ecuador. Scientists know it exclusively from its type locality in the Cordillera del Cóndor. It was located 1910 meters above sea level.[1][2]

The sole adult male sample measured 48.1 mm long in snout-vent length.[2]

This frog lives in dense cloud forests with high humidity. The area was full of trees covered in moss and epiphytes.[2]
