Holotype: ULABG 2232.
Type locality: From path between third and fourth stations of Teleférico de Mérida, 3,500 m, Libertador Municipality, Mérida State, Venezuela.
Distribution: Region 1. Apparently microendemic around type locality in Sierra Nevada de Mérida, in páramo habitat at 3,400 –3,500 m asl.
Remarks: Appears to have suffered a decline, as intensive search by CBA in March-April 2012 (nearly 20 hours) resulted in no positive observations. In Pristimantis unistrigatus species group according to Hedges et al. (2008) but not assigned to any species group by Padial et al. (2014).
