摘要：
A distinctive new species of Atelopus is described from Parque Nacional Chirripo Grande, Cordillera de Talamanca (3 400-3 500 m). It closely resembles populations of the Atelopus ignescens complex from the Andes of northern Ecuador and southern Colombia. It differs most significantly from these frogs in the pattern of spiculae and coni development on the throat, chest, hands and feet. The Costa Rican species appears to be all Outlier of the complex inexplicably separated geographically from its nearest allies by an over land distance Of about 1 600 km. Rev. Biol. Trop. 57 (1-2): 381-386. F pub 2009 June 30.
