Microkayla kempffi is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Bolivia where it is known from the Serranía Siberia in the Cochabamba and Santa Cruz Departments.[2] Its natural habitats are cloud and elfin forests where it has been found near rocks along a road, under stones and logs, on moss, and on tree roots. It can be active both day and night. It is threatened by habitat loss, and potentially, by climate change.[1]
