| description | <p>We describe two new species of terrestrial frogs of the genus <em>Pristimantis</em> from the cloud forest of the Reserva Río Zuñag, located on the slopes of the Cordillera de los Sacha Llanganatis, buffer zone of the Llanganates National Park, on the eastern slopes of the central Andes of Ecuador. The first species differs from its congeners by presenting a distinctive brown colouration and hidden surfaces of posterior limb and groin black. The second is the only species of <em>Pristimantis</em> in the region characterized by the presence of a dermal occipital “W” crest, a distinctive pale-shaped inverted “V” mark, and hidden surfaces of groin and posterior limb reddish.</p> |
