Pristimantis ocreatus

Description

Pristimantis ocreatus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to extreme northern Ecuador. Its type locality is the west slope of volcano Chiles in the Carchi Province and it is only known from the Páramos del Angel and Chamizo at elevations of 3,000–4,150 m (9,840–13,620 ft) asl. It range might extend to adjacent Colombia. Common name Carchi robber frog has been coined for this species. They have pale hands and feet, as if wearing gloves and socks—hence the specific name ocreatus, which is Latin and means "wearing leggings" or "booted".
