}}Pristimantis kelephus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae.[3] It is endemic to Colombia[3] and known from the Cordillera Occidental in Cauca, Chocó, and Valle del Cauca Departments, at elevations of {{convert|1900|-|2610|m|abbr=on}} asl.[4] Its type locality is in El Cairo, Valle del Cauca Department.[3] The specific name is derived from Greek kefephos, meaning leper, in reference to the rounded pustules on the dorsal surfaces that provide the impression of some disfigurement caused by leprosy.[2]

Description

Males measure {{convert|16|-|21|mm|abbr=on}} and females {{convert|27|-|32|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length. Skin of dorsum has many round pustules, which form a H-shaped figure above scapulae as well as other ridges. Skin of venter is areolate. Dorsolateral folds are absent. Tympanum is prominent. Colouration is brown or maroon above (sometimes green) with darker markings. Venter is pale gold with heavy black markings to black or maroon with cream to white spotting. Iris is brown, sometimes brassy gold, with black reticulum.[2]

Habitat and conservation

Natural habitats of Pristimantis kelephus are primary and secondary cloud forests where it occurs on vegetation along small streams. It is a common frog, and no significant threats have been identified, but it is assessed as "Vulnerable" because it is only known from few locations.[1]
