Based on an integrative taxonomical approach, using molecular, morphological, and bioacoustics data, a new species of glassfrog of the genus is described from Refugio de Vida Silvestre El Zarza, southern Ecuador. is a medium sized species, easily distinguished from all other glassfrogs by its unique combination of characters, such as a shagreen dorsum with elevated warts corresponding to white spots, an evident tympanum, half or more than half of the upper parietal peritoneum covered by iridophores, iridophores absent on all visceral peritonea, including the pericardium, a lobed liver lacking iridophores, males with small projecting humeral spines, the outer edges of forearms and tarsus with a row of enameled warts that often continue into the external edges of Finger IV and/or Toe V, and white or yellowish white iris with thick black reticulations. The new species is closely related to a currently undescribed species and superficially resembles , , , , and . The tadpole and advertisement and courtship calls are described, and the threats to the species survival, mainly represented by habitat loss and contamination due to mining activities, are briefly discussed.
基于综合分类学方法,利用分子、形态和生物声学数据,从厄瓜多尔南部的西尔维斯特雷埃尔萨尔扎野生动物保护区描述了一种新的玻璃蛙属物种。该物种体型中等,通过其独特的特征组合很容易与所有其他玻璃蛙区分开来,例如具粒状小瘤的背部有隆起的疣对应白色斑点、明显的鼓膜、上顶腹膜的一半或一半以上被虹彩细胞覆盖、所有内脏腹膜(包括心包)均无虹彩细胞、具叶状肝脏且无虹彩细胞、雄性有小的突出肱骨棘、前臂和跗骨外缘有一排釉质疣且常延伸至第四指和/或第五趾的外缘,以及白色或黄白色虹膜带有粗黑网状花纹。新物种与一种目前未描述的物种密切相关,表面上类似于[此处原文未给出具体类似的物种名称]、[此处原文未给出具体类似的物种名称]、[此处原文未给出具体类似的物种名称]、[此处原文未给出具体类似的物种名称]和[此处原文未给出具体类似的物种名称]。描述了蝌蚪以及求偶鸣叫,并简要讨论了该物种生存面临的威胁,主要是采矿活动导致的栖息地丧失和污染。
