Abstract

A new species of Telmatobius is described from humid paramo of southeastern Peru and western Bolivia. Males of the new species differ from those of Telmatobius sanborni, the only other species of Telmatobius in the area, mainly by lacking hypertrophied forearms and having smaller nuptial spicules; in addition, color patterns are different. The apparent low diversity of forest Telmatobius in southern Peru may be an artifact of lack of research on this group of frogs in this region.
