Dos nuevas especies de Phrynopus(Anura: Leptodactylidae)de los bosques nublados de Bolivia

Abstract

We describe two new species of Phrynopusfrom cloud forests in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The newspecies are assigned to the P.peruanusgroup and are characterized by the presence of basal webbing, distinc-tive coloration, and by having the first finger shorter than the second. The first of these new species was col-lected near Montepunko in Parque Nacional Carrasco and is known from eight males and six females. Amongits distinctive characteristics are round cream-colored glands on its flanks. A second species is known from onemale and one female collected near “Zona de Aguirre” near the northwest border of the park. V and X-shapedblotches and a dorsum that is smooth except for dorsolateral and scapular folds characterize this species. Mus-culature has rarely been described for species of Phrynopus. The species from Montepunko has unusual gularand thigh musculature that is quite unlike other species of the genus.
