Rio Chingual Valley tree frog

The Rio Chingual Valley tree frog (Hyloscirtus pantostictus) is a frog. It lives in Colombia and Ecuador on the east side of the Andes Mountains. Scientists have seen it between 1950 and 2700 meters above sea level.

The adult male frog is 55.54 - 68.14 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 64.1 mm long. The skin on this frog's back is olive green in color with orange spots.  The skin of the belly is white.  There are orange spots on the front of the neck.  The insides of the legs are black and orange in color.  This frog has climbing disks on its toes.  The disks are bright yellow.  The iris of the eye is gray in color.

People have only seen this frog in places where some trees were cut down.  Scientists are not sure whether it can live if humans change the places it lives too much.

This frog's scientific name comes from the Greek language word pantostiktos, for "stained."
