Pristimantis medemi is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. [2] The species is endemic to Colombia.
The specific name, medemi, is in honor of Federico Medem, who was a Colombian herpetologist of Baltic German descent. [3]
Pristimantis medemi is found in central Colombia, in the departments of Caquetá, Casanare, Cundinamarca, and Meta. [1]
The natural habitats of Pristimantis medemi are tropical moist lowland forests, moist montane forests, rivers, plantations, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forests, [4] at elevations of 450–2,400 m (1,480–7,870 ft). [1]
