Pristimantis lindae is a species of
Cusco Region.[1] The specific name lindae honors Linda Trueb,[2] an American herpetologist and wife of William E. Duellman, the species describer.[4] Nevertheless, common name Santa Isabel robber frog has been coined for this species.[3]
Description
The
dorsum is shagreened and tan in color, with dark brown markings. The throat is pinkish cream and has black flecks. The flanks and the belly are cream with black reticulations. The iris is bronze and has a median horizontal reddish brown streak.[2]
Habitat and conservation
Pristimantis lindae occurs in montane tropical
above sea level. Specimens have often been found perched about 2–3 m (7–10 ft) above the ground,[1] although the holotype was on a bush.[2] Development is presumably direct (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage).[1]
It is an uncommon species but the population appears to be stable. Specimens infected with Ranavirus and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis have been found, but craugastorid frogs do not seem to be adversely affected by such infections. Pristimantis lindae occurs in the buffer zone of the Manu National Park.[1]
