Remarks.

A specimen (DHMECN 14476) with body size of 20.49 mm was collected on a bush leaf at 170 cm in the montane forests of MER at 2970 m elevation. Due to its external morphology, this species could be related to the Pristimantis lacrimosus group; however, all known species of that group are found only below 2000 m elevation. This species could be the highest record for the Pristimantis lacrimosus group.
