Description and phylogenetic position of a new species of Oreobates (Anura: Craugastoridae) from northwestern Argentina

We describe a new species of Oreobates from Jujuy, Argentina. The new species is clearly diagnosable from other species of Oreobates by a combination of morphological characters and support by molecular evidence (genetic distance and phylogenetic analysis). We also provide taxonomic comments about O...

Sumario:We describe a new species of Oreobates from Jujuy, Argentina. The new species is clearly diagnosable from other species of Oreobates by a combination of morphological characters and support by molecular evidence (genetic distance and phylogenetic analysis). We also provide taxonomic comments about O. discoidalis and O. barituensis, emphasizing the need for an exhaustive revision of these species.
