Llanqui, Irbin B., Y. Salas, Cinthya & Oblitas, Melissa P., 2019, A preliminary checklist of amphibians and reptiles from the vicinity of La Nube Biological Station, Bahuaja-Sonene National Park, Peru, Check List 15 (5), pp. 773-796 : 779

Pristimantis recorded in the vicinity of LNBS, but it can

be recognized by a dorsal tan coloration with faint longitudinal stripes and venter pale cream to pale gray. Posterior surfaces of thighs bright orange in some individuals. Typical measurements and characteristics, together with a comparison with the most similar species, P. ockendeni , are in Table 3.

Distribution. This Pristimantis has not been reported outside PNBS.

Remarks. Several Pristimantis species were observed during our sampling but P. cf. ockendeni was the only one with orange thighs and dorsal pattern with longitudinal stripes ( Fig. 4A and 4C). Pristimantis ockendeni is morphologically similar, and its type locality is ~ 12 km from our study area ( Duellman and Lehr 2009). Nevertheless, our comparison revealed some differences, espe- cially the length of toes ( Table 3), which suggest our specimens may be an undescribed species.
