Material examined. MUSA 4924; (13°25′20″ S, 069°36′ 36″ W), 28.IX.2013.

Identification. A member of the Pristimantis conspicillatus species group ( Lynch and Duellman 1997, Hedges et al. 2008, Padial et al. 2014). A moderate-sized Pristimantis, SVL 23.4–39.3 mm in males and 31.9–57.2 mm in females. It can be identified by dorsum shagreen with scattered tubercles; smooth skin on venter; discoidal fold prominent and dorsolateral folds absent. Upper eyelids lack tubercles. Finger I> II, discs on digits are consid- erably expanded. Toe V slightly longer than III. Dorsum varies from yellowish tan, pale grayish tan or pale reddish tan, usually with darker markings of the same

color. Venter pale cream with mottling on the throat.

Faint labial bars. Posterior surfaces of thighs same as the dorsal ground color. Similar species in adjacent localities are: P. peruvianus and P. buccinator , but they differ by having the posterior surfaces of thighs brown with cream spots, and brown with minute white flecks respec- tively ( Duellman 2005, Duellman and Lehr 2009).

Distribution. Pristimantis fenestratus is widespread throughout the Amazon Basin in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia and Peru in an elevation range from 100 to 1800 m a.s.l. ( Lynch 1980, de la Riva et al. 2000, Duellman and Lehr 2009, Padial and de la Riva 2009, Frost 2019).
