Males SVL = 26.3–28.5 mm, females SVL = 28.1–40.2 mm ( Suárez and Alzate Basto 2014). This species is recognized from other Pristimantis species of the study site by having Finger I longer than Finger II; fingers and toes usually lack well-defined discs; a very large tympanum. Frogs of small size; concave loreal region; adult males lack nuptial thumbs and vocal slits. The individuals col- lected in this study lack brightly colored dorsolateral stripes, the populations of biogeographic Chocó have a characteristic coloration pattern, with a uniformly gran- ular back, with two yellow, orange or red dorsolateral bands extending from behind the eye at least to the mid- dle of the body. A total of 48 individuals were found and were present in all the sampling stations. It was observed on the floor, leaf litter and even on bare soil. Pristimantis gaigei occurs in Costa Rica, Panamá, and the lowlands of the Sinú region and the valleys of Cauca and Magdalena rivers in Colombia, in primary and secondary forests ( Suárez and Alzate Basto 2014, Frost 2019).
