(Pristimantis lindae)

Description

Pristimantis lindae is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to Peru and only known from Kosñipata Valley (also spelled Cosñipata) on the northeastern slopes of the Cadena de Paucartambo, a frontal range of the Cordillera Oriental in Cusco Region. The specific name lindae honors Linda Trueb, an American herpetologist and wife of William E. Duellman, the species describer.
