| description | <p>Recently, Valencia et al. [1] we described a new species of <em>Pristimantis</em> from the northwestern foothills of Ecuador. However, we made a mistake in using a specific epithet previously occupied for a frog of eastern and western foothills of Antioquia, Colombia [2]. Under Chapter 12, Article 53.3 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature ICZN, <em>Pristimantis viridis</em> Valencia, Yánez-Muñoz, Betancourt-Yépez, Terán-Valdezy Guayasamin, 2010 is considered a junior homonym.</p><p>To solve this problem, and following the provisions of Art. 60.3 of ICZN [3], we propose the name <em>Pristimantis rufoviridis nomen novum</em> replacing <em>Pristimantis viridis</em> Valencia, Yánez-Muñoz, Betancourt-Yépez, Terán-Valdez y Guayasamin. The specific epithet <em>rufoviridis</em> comes from the combination of words in Latin <em>rufus</em> (red, reddish) and <em>viridis</em> (green), and refers to the greenish color with red spots on the back of this frog. The <em>rufoviridis</em> epithet is used as a noun in apposition.</p><p>Although the color pattern is green in the two species, P <em>viridis</em> has a pale green or “apple green” immaculate without obvious stains [2], as opposed to P <em>rufoviridis</em> which has obvious reddish spots. As P <em>rufoviridis</em>, P <em>viridis</em> has no clear phylogenetic position within the genre <em>Pristimantis</em> [2].</p> |
