Pristimantis moro, also known as La Hondura robber frog, is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. [4] It is found in lowland western Colombia (Valle del Cauca Department),[5] the Pacific versant of Panama, and the Atlantic versant of Costa Rica.[4]
Pristimantis moro was described by Jay M. Savage in 1965 as Eleutherodactylus moro. The specific name moro honors John Luther Mohr, a specialist in anuran enterofauna.[2] The same species was described as Eleutherodactylus lehmanvalenciae by W. A. Thornton later in 1965,[3] thus making it junior synonym of Eleutherodactylus moro.[6] The specific name lehmanvalenciae honors Carlos Lehman Valencia, in recognition of "his many contributions furthering the knowledge of Colombian natural history".[3][7]
Pristimantis moro is a small frog, with males growing to a snout–vent length (SVL) of 19.5 mm (0.77 in) and females to 25 mm (0.98 in) SVL.[8] The tympanum is distinct but small. The fingers and toes have distinct, rounded disks but no webbing.[2][3] The dorsum is uniformly green, turning reddish or orange-red in the head.[8][2][3] The lower surfaces are pale greenish yellow or creamy white, with the throat being yellowish.[3][2] The iris is reddish-orange.[8][2][3]
Pristimantis moro lives in humid lowland and montane forests[1][8] from sea level[5][8] to 1,245 m (4,085 ft) above sea level.[1][8] It is a nocturnal and arboreal species living in the forest canopy. This, together with its small size, makes it difficult to observe, making it prone to under-recording. Threats to it are unknown. It is present in some protected areas in Panama and Costa Rica.[1]
