Species Distribution and Climate Change

We describe three new species of terrestrial frogs of the genus Pristimantis from the province of El Oro, southwestern Ecuador. Two species inhabit the lowland semi-deciduous forests, and the third species in the high montane forests. Pristimantis kuri sp. nov. is characterized by having white patches bordered by dark brown on ventral, inguinal and hidden surfaces of legs, "H" occipito-escapular dermal ridge, and a conical tubercle on the upper eyelid. Pristimantis allpapuyu sp. nov. shows dark brown dorsum with conspicuous cream bands, long and thin digits, and two to three subconical tubercles on the upper eyelid. Pristimantis hampatusami sp. nov. is distinguished by having yellow marks surrounded by brown on groin and posterior surfaces of thighs, and a large subconical tubercle and several small subconical tubercles on the upper eyelid.
