Asignamos a Pristimantis almendariz sp.

Describimos una nueva especie de Pristimantis conocida del bosque nublado de las estribaciones orientales de los Andes centrales de Ecuador. We describe a new species of Pristimantis, known from cloud forests of the eastern slopes of central Ecuadorian Andes. The new species is characterized by having distinctive white spots on black venter, green dorsum, conical tubercles on eyelid, interorbital tubercle, and row of ulnar and tarsal tubercles. Efforts to conserve this species are focused on two protected areas within the Llanganates-Sangay corridor, a hotspot that protects endemic and unknown populations of frogs. Las localidades, sus coordenadas y elevaciones fueron determinadas en base a las notas de campo de los colectores tomadas con un GPS. Adicionalmente, P. Otra especie similar a P.

The description of the new species is based on the examination of eleven adult males and three adult females. The new taxon can be readily distinguished from other congeneric species that inhabit the eastern Andes of Ecuador by the unique combination of the following characters: small body adult males SVL Additionally, we provide information on the advertisement call and natural history of the new species.

We describe a new species of rain frog of the genus Pristimantis from the city of Loja, Southern Ecuador, based on an integrative taxonomy approach, combining molecular, morphological and bioacoustics data. Pristimantis lojanus sp. The new species can be easily distinguished from its closest congeners and morphologically similar species that also have acuminate snout with a fleshy keel by its characteristic advertisement call and morphological features dorsum finely tuberculate with scattered larger tubercles, flanks without longitudinal lateral folds, no markings in axilla, groin or on concealed limb surfaces, and bronze iris. Additionally, we describe the advertisement call of its sister species, P. Finally, we detail the current situation of the amphibian species present in the city of Loja and its surroundings.

Pristimantis is a very large genus of frogs distributed in the southern Caribbean islands Lesser Antilles and in Central and South America from Honduras to northern Argentina and southern Brazil.

Currently, the genus is placed placing in the family Strabomantidae , subfamily Strabomantinae, [2] [5] [1]. As of October , there are species, but new ones continue to be described on a regular basis e. Contents move to sidebar hide. Article Talk.
