We describe a new species of the diverse genus Pristimantis. The new species is characterized by having a green dorsum with reddish marks, acuminate snout with papilla at tip, conical ulnar and tarsal tubercles, and by lacking cranial crests. The new species inhabits the northwestern Andean slopes of Ecuador.
