Pristimantis rufioculis is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is found in the Andes of northern Peru and adjacent Ecuador (Zamora-Chinchipe). The specific name rufioculis is derived from the Latin words rufiis, meaning red, and oculis, meaning eye—red iris is one of the distinguishing characteristics of this species. Accordingly, common name red-eyed robber frog has been proposed for this species.

<i>Pristimantis w-nigrum</i> Species of frog

Pristimantis w-nigrum, also known as the Zurucuchu robber frog or w rainfrog, is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is found on both Pacific and Amazonian slopes of the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru. The species is divided to at least eight clades that are genetically highly divergent but morphologically similar; it may be a species complex.

Pristimantis mutabilis, also known as the mutable rainfrog or "punk rock" rainfrog, is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is found in the Ecuadoran Andes of Pichincha and Imbabura provinces. Pristimantis mutabilis is the first known amphibian species that is able to change skin texture from tuberculate to almost smooth in a few minutes, an extreme example of phenotypic plasticity. The specific epithet mutabilis (changeable) refers to this ability. The physiological mechanism behind the skin texture change remains unknown.
