Abstract

“Cochranella” megista is an Endangered and rarely encountered species of glass frog that, until now, had been only registered in the Colombian Andes. Here we report this species for the first time in Ecuador, expanding its known distribution ca. 530 km south of its original range. Additionally, we include C. megista in a molecular phylogeny for the first time and unambiguously place the species in the genus Nymphargus, resulting in a new combination. Habitat in both countries is fragmented and is threatened by mining concessions and agriculture.

“Cochranella”megista的系统发育位置（Anura： Centrolenidae）和厄瓜多尔的首次记录

“Cochranella”megista是一种濒危且罕见的玻璃蛙，迄今为止，它只在哥伦比亚安第斯山脉注册。在这里，我们首次在厄瓜多尔报道了该物种，扩大了其已知分布范围。在其原始范围以南约530公里处。此外，我们首次将C.megista纳入分子系统发育，并明确将该物种归入睡莲属，从而形成了一个新的组合。这两个国家的生境支离破碎，受到采矿特许权和农业的威胁。
