Pristimantis tayrona (Cebolleta Robber Frog)

Synonyms: Eleutherodactylus tayrona

Wikipedia Abstract

Pristimantis tayrona is a species of frog in the Craugastoridae family. It is endemic to the northwestern Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. The specific name tayrona refers to the pre-Columbian Tairona culture. Lynch and Ruíz-Carranza suggest that this species might have been a model for the gold frogs unearthed from archaeological sites in the area.
