| 總結: | <p>We describe <em>Pristimantis loujosti</em> sp. nov. from the upper River Pastaza basin. This species is characterised by its large body size, thick glandular skin, orange hidden surfaces of legs, prominent hand fold, one to three wart on the upper surface of the arm, and strongly reticulated iris. The presence of the hand fold has not been previously reported in other <em>Pristimantis</em>, althoug it seems to be shared with P <em>pycnodermis</em>, species that seems to be closely related.</p> |
