We describe a new, medium-sized species of terrestrial frog of the genus from a single locality in the central Andes of Peru (Departamento de Huánuco) at 3,730 meters of elevation. Phylogenetic analyses supported sp. nov. as an independent lineage, sister to most of its congeners. The new species is morphologically distinguishable by the presence of small tubercles on upper eyelids and heels, an areolate venter, and the absence of dorsolateral folds or ridges. This species inhabits the highlands adjacent to the Marañón Dry valley. The only sympatric amphibian species recorded is the marsupial frog .
我们描述了一种来自秘鲁中部安第斯山脉(瓦努科省)海拔3730米处单一地点的新的中型陆栖蛙类物种,隶属于 属。系统发育分析支持该新物种作为一个独立谱系,是其大多数同属物种的姐妹群。新物种在形态上可通过上眼睑和脚跟处有小瘤、腹部呈网纹状以及没有背外侧褶或脊来区分。该物种栖息于马拉尼翁干谷附近的高地。记录到的唯一同域两栖类物种是有袋蛙 。
