Six new species of Pristimantis (Anura: Strabomantidae) from Llanganates National Park and Sangay National Park in Amazonian cloud forests of Ecuador

Abstract: We describe six new species of rainfrogs of the genus Pristimantis (Strabomantidae) from Amazonian cloud forests in Ecuador. We also present a phylogeny showing the relationships of the new species. The phylogeny is based on mitochondrial genes 16S rRNA (16S), 12 rRNA (12S), NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 1 (ND1) and the nuclear gene recombination-activating 1 (RAG1). We also describe the osteology of two of the new species using high-resolution x-ray computed tomography. The new species belong to two cl… Show more

“…For new species description and diagnosis, we followed standard terms used by Lynch and Duellman (1997), with adaptations to the Pristimantis anaiae species group (Ortega et al 2022). We followed the diagnostic characters, definitions, and diagrams applied by Duellman and Lehr (2009).…”

“…Chosen molecular markers (12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, ND1, and RAG1) are widely used in amphibian phylogenetics (Hay et al 1995;Chan et al 2022;Portik et al 2023), are currently available for the genus Pristimantis and were used for the phylogenetic analysis by Ortega et al (2022).…”
