?Rediscovery, redescription and identity of Pristimantis nebulosus (Henle, 1992), and description of a new terrestrial-breeding frog from montane rainforests of central Peru (Anura, Strabomantidae)

The taxonomic status of the strabomantid frog species Pristimantis nebulosus (Henle, 1992), originating from southern Cordillera Azul in central Peru, is investigated based on examination holotype and its comparison with freshly collected topotypic material. Following current standards, we provide a redescription holotype. It rather poor state exhibits certain damages preservation artifacts, conditions that have hampered an allocation this nominal taxon to any known living population past. Our detailed specimen-to-specimen provided morphological evidence for conspecifity topotypes. Molecular phylogenetic analysis, mitochondrial 16S gene fragment places P. conspicillatus group, being closely related bipunctatus undescribed candidate de Carpish. From both, differs by considerable divergence (p-distance 4.1–6.2%). Based specimens available, updated diagnosis , compare it other group describe advertisement call. In addition, name sister but both mainly tuberculate dorsal skin (versus shagreen) (3.3–4.1%). We briefly discuss cryptic diversity danae groups justification description singleton species.
