Geographic distribution.

Another of the six species of the roseus group endemic to Chile, which presents a restricted distribution according to Suárez-Villota et al. (2018b). Eupsophus altor was reported originally from four localities (39°29' to 39°42'S, Nuñez et al. 2012a), but a map by Nuñez et al. (2012b) shows six points without mentioning the localities (not included in Fig. 3B ). In any case, all these localities are between the two original ones of E. migueli , Mehuín and Los Molinos (localities 58 and 76 of Fig. 3B ). In one of the original localities, Alepúe, E. roseus has also been recorded ( Blotto et al. 2013). This last record can be added to the others mentioned above, which indicate the presence of E. roseus in several coastal locations where E. migueli and E. altor are found, but the map of the IUCN (2019) shows a continuous distribution of E. roseus that completely covers those of both species.

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.
