Pristimantis sp.

A small-sized species of speciose genus Pristimantis Jiménez de la Espada, 1870 , with external morphology overlapping with the known variation of many species (relatively short hind limbs, tuberculate dorsum with a "W″ scapular pattern, and an immaculate areolate venter). Historically, populations sharing this general morphology have been attributed across Amazonia to the name Pristimantis ockendeni (Boulenger, 1912) . However, it is already evidenced that many undescribed species are masqueraded under this name (Elmer & Cannatela, 2008). In this case, assignments to any taxonomic status would be putative without additional data because of the same reasons for the case of Allobates sp. Therefore, we also cannot discard the presence of more than one species contained under this taxon.
