Pristimantis aff. tungurahua

Remarks.

A specimen (DHMECN 14445) of body size of 21.04 mm was collected on a fern leaf 110 cm from the ground, in the montane forests of Machay Reserve at 2600 m elevation. This species is very similar to Pristimantis tungurahua found in nearby localities, such as the Cerro Candelaria Reserve, Naturetrek-Vizcaya Reserve and Chamana Reserve. However, the Machay Reserve’s specimen differs in that it has patterns with white spots in the groin and ventral surfaces, as opposed to the red belly and dark colour of P. tungurahua .
