Oreobates pereger is known from elevations of 1650–2900 m on the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Oriental and Cordillera Vilcabamba in central Peru ( Lynch, 1975; Lehr and Aguilar, 2006) (map 2). In the original description, this species was placed in Phrynopus ( Lynch, 1975) , from where it was removed by Lehr and Aguilar (2006). Phylogenetic analyses of a short fragment of the 16rRNA gene and additional analyses with larger character sampling (not shown) support the placement of this species in Oreobates , where it was placed by Hedges et al. (2008a). The specimens sequenced are those described by Lehr and Aguilar (2006).
