Holotype: ULABG 3376.

Type locality: “ Quebrada la Corcovada, aproximadamente 8 km de Laguna Mucubají, en vía Apartaderos-Santo Domingo, 3,000 m snm., 8°48’42”N, 70°47’46”W, Municipio Cardenal Quintero, Estado Mérida, Venezuela.”

Distribution: Region 1. Apparently restricted to surroundings of type locality.

In Pristimantis unistrigatus species group according to Hedges et al. (2008); not assigned to any species group by Padial et al. (2014).

Selected references: La Marca (2005).
