Type locality.

M.N. Contulmo ( Ortiz et al. 1989); locality 24 of Fig. 3A .

Geographic distribution.

Another of the six species of the roseus group endemic to Chile, specifically to the Nahuelbuta Range, which would have a restricted distribution according to Suárez-Villota et al. (2018b). There are few records of this species in the literature (see Appendix 1). However, Ortiz and Ibarra-Vidal (2005) pointed out that this species has a wider distribution on the western slopes of the Nahuelbuta Range, between the south of the Biobío River (~37°10'S) and the latitude of the town of Tirúa (~38°20'S). On the other hand, the maps of Nuñez (2003) and Rabanal and Nuñez (2008) restrict the distribution of this species to its type locality and surroundings.

Figures

Figure 3. Compilation of localities of Eupsophus species gathered from the literature (see the complete list of localities in Appendix 1). Multicolored circles and the star indicate localities where two or three species of the same group have been reported in the same or different sources. White circles indicate the localities where two undescribed species have been identified (Villarrica and Tolhuaca), two undetermined populations included in this study (Fig. 4) and several ones considered by Correa et al. (2017) as E. roseus, whose taxonomic status is uncertain according to the current taxonomy (Suarez-Villota et al. 2018 b). Thin gray lines within Chile represent boundaries of Administrative Regions.
