I describe a new glassfrog from the cloud forest of the Andes of southwestern Ecuador (Plan de Milagro-Gualaceo road; 3.0077°S, 78.53318°W), at elevations between 2140-2160 m. The new species is distinguished mostly by having a pale yellow dorsal coloration instead of the green that characterizes most centrolenids. Morphological traits (i.e., reduced webbing between Fingers III and IV and lack of humeral spines) support the placement of the new species in the genus Nymphargus.
我描述了一种来自厄瓜多尔西南部安第斯山脉云雾森林(米拉格罗 - 瓜拉塞奥公路;南纬3.0077°,西经78.53318°)、海拔2140 - 2160米处的新玻璃蛙。该新物种的主要特征是具有浅黄色的背部颜色,而非大多数玻璃蛙属物种所具有的绿色。形态特征(即第三和第四指之间蹼减少以及没有肱骨棘)支持将该新物种归入玻璃蛙属。
