Atelopus moropukaqumir

Description of holotype. (Figs. 3 – 5) Adult male. Body slim (SW / SVL = 0.25), head longer than wide (HSLQ / HDWD = 1.22), snout subacuminate in dorsal view, with tip of snout distinctly protuberant from anterior margin of jaw. Nostrils slightly protuberant anteriorly, directed laterally, not visible from above, situated anterior to level of apex of lower jaw. Canthus rostralis distinct and covered with coni, convex from tip of snout to nostril, nearly straight from nostril to eye; loreal region slightly concave; lips not flared. Interorbital and occipital regions flat, rostral area concave, all bearing coni; eyelid flared bearing coni; postorbital crests slightly raised, narrow; tympanic membrane and tympanic annulus not visible externally. Tympanic area covered with coni. Choanae small, rounded, widely separated, concealed by palatal shelf of maxillae; tongue about 3.33 as long as wide, its posterior two-thirds not attached to the mouth’s floor; ostia pharyngeal and vocal slits absent. Forearm relatively short (RDUL / SVL = 0.28), 1.3 times as thick proximally as distally; nuptial pad on dorsal and outer surfaces of thumb consisting of minute keratinized spines, without magnification barely distinguishable from black pigmentation of thumb; palmar and subarticular tubercles distinct; digital tips with round pads; thumb short (THBL / HAND = 0.29), apparently having one phalange; basal webbing on fingers absent, fingers lacking lateral fringes; relative length of fingers I <II <IV <III (Fig. 5 A). Tibia long (TIBL / SVL = 0.50); fold on distal half of inner edge of tarsus absent; inner metatarsal tubercle indistinct; outer metatarsal tubercle conical, low raised; supernumerary plantar and subarticular tubercles indistinct; digital pads distinct; webbing formula of toes I (0) – (0) II (0) – (0) III (0) – (2) IV (2) – (1) V; relative lengths of toes I <II <III <V <IV (Fig. 5 B). Vertebral neural processes not protruding under dorsal skin; dorsal and lateral surfaces (except for anterior surfaces of thighs) bearing numerous grey coni; skin of throat, chest, and belly smooth; venter lacking coni except for ventrolateral surfaces on upper arms, chest and posterior margin of throat; cloacal opening slightly above midlevel of thighs, directed laterally; skin lateral to cloacal bearing coni. Variation in measurements. Meristic variation for males, females, and juveniles paratypes are given in Table 1. Coloration of holotype in preservative. Dorsum and dorsolateral areas dark green with greyish coni (red spots appear pink in preservative); venter covered with cream blotches on a black background; hand palms, feet palms, axillae and seat patch pink reddish; throat cream yellowish on a pale green background (Fig. 3). Coloration of holotype in life. Dorsum olive green with red spots surrounded by dark green circles, red spots on arms, legs and dorsolateral areas smaller than on dorsum; ventral coloration bright red along jaws, and covering hands palms, feet palms, seat patch and axillae; ventral surfaces otherwise covered with white to cream blotches on a black background. Throat covered with orange spots on a light green background (Fig. 4). Tadpoles. Unknown.
