| A new species of frog of the family Centrolenidae is described from Ecuador, Centrolene durrellorum. This new taxon is the first species of the genus Centrolene known to inhabit the central and southern foothills of the Cordillera Oriental of Ecuador. The new species is diagnosed from other centrolenid taxa by its moderate body size (25.7 - 26.1 mm adult males), uniform coloration (green in life, pale lavender in preservative), round snout in dorsal and lateral view, presence of medium-sized straight humeral spines with a moderate spiny point in adult males, and absence of guanophores on the visceral peritonea. |
