About
Pristimantis altamazonicus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. As currently defined, it is known from the Amazonian Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Following a study by Ortega-Andrade and colleagues published in 2017, Pristimantis brevicrus (Andersson, 1945), thought to be a synonym of Pristimantis altamazonicus, was resurrected. Furthermore, specimens from Brazil and Bolivia traditionally referred to this species were found to represent other, as yet undescribed species.
