Rheobates palmatus — Grant et al. 2006: 159.

Males SVL = 25–31 mm, females SVL = 28–35 mm (Rive- ro and Serna 1995). Rounded snout, the upper jaw projects beyond the lower jaw; it has dermal gussets that are located on the tips of the fingers. Brown dorsum, with a short oblique lateral band and a cream or yellow granulated ven- ter. A total of 70 individuals were found, observed mostly along streams and creeks in 4 sampling stations between 250 and 1100 m elevation. This species is distributed from the eastern slope of the northern Cordillera Central to both slopes of the Cordillera Oriental, between elevations of 350 and 2520 m ( Ruíz-Carranza et al.1996); however, we ex- pand its range of altitudinal distribution.
