A new species of the genus Amazophrynella (Anura, Bufonidae) is described from the departments of Madre de Dios, Cusco and Junin in Peru. An integrative taxonomy approach is used. A morphological diagnosis, morphometrics comparisons, description of the advertisement call, and the phylogenetic relationships of the new species are provided. Amazophrynella javierbustamantei sp. n. differs from other species of Amazophrynella by: intermediate body-size (snout-vent length 14.9 mm in males, n = 26 and 19.6 mm in females, n = 20), tuberculate skin texture of body, greatest hand length of the Amazophrynella spp. (3.6 mm in males, n = 26 and 4.6 mm in females, n = 20), venter coloration yellowish, tiny rounded black points covering the venter, and thirteen molecular autapomorphies in the 16S RNA gene. Its distribution varies from 215 to 708 m a.s.l. This discovery highlights the importance of the remnant forest in preserving the biodiversity in Peru, and increase in seven the species formally described in the genus Amazophrynella.
一种新的亚马逊蟾蜍属(无尾目,蟾蜍科)物种在秘鲁的马德雷德迪奥斯省、库斯科省和胡宁省被描述。采用了综合分类学方法。提供了形态诊断、形态测量比较、求偶鸣叫描述以及新物种的系统发育关系。哈维尔·布斯塔曼特亚马逊蟾蜍(Amazophrynella javierbustamantei sp. n.)与亚马逊蟾蜍属的其他物种的区别在于:体型中等(雄性吻肛长14.9毫米,n = 26;雌性吻肛长19.6毫米,n = 20),身体皮肤有瘤状纹理,是亚马逊蟾蜍属物种中手部最长的(雄性3.6毫米,n = 26;雌性4.6毫米,n = 20),腹部颜色淡黄,腹部覆盖着微小的圆形黑点,以及16S rRNA基因中的13个分子自近裔性状。其分布范围在海拔215至708米之间。这一发现凸显了秘鲁残余森林在保护生物多样性方面的重要性,并且使亚马逊蟾蜍属中正式描述的物种增加到了七个。
