Figure 3B
Males SVL of 23.9 mm, females SVL = 25.6–27.8 mm. The species is identified as Pristimantis aff. fallax given the similar characters to those of this species, such as spots on the throat and lateral reticulations (venter with no pigmentation) ( Lynch and Rueda-Almonacid 1999); fifth toe longer than the third. Nonetheless, it does not have the 2 supra anal tubercles, which are an important diagnostic character of P. fallax . Four individuals were observed between 1200 and 1450 m (Stations 1 and 2), in sub Andean forest. It is common on leaves of plants and bushes, close to the ground.
