Abstract

A small collection of anurans from the Cordillera Yanachaga in central Peru revealed the presence of 10 species of Eleutherodactylus. Four of these species are unknown elsewhere and are described herein. Three of the new species are members of the immense Eleutherodactylus unistrigatus group, and one belongs with the smaller, South American Eleutherodactylus conspicillatus group. The 83 described species of Eleutherodactylus known in Peru belong to six species groups that have different patterns of distribution. Most species in the cloud forest in the Cordillera Oriental, Cordillera Central, and associated ranges have small latitudinal and elevational distributions.
