Pristimantis bacchus
Pristimantis bacchus is a rain frog in the family Craugastoridae (order Anura), recorded as Endangered.

Adult males measure 22–29 mm (0.9–1.1 in) and adult females 32–35 mm (1.3–1.4 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is subacuminate in dorsal view but rounded in profile. Dorsal coloration is rust brown with dull yellow flecks and only faint dorsolateral stripes.
Range and habitat
It is endemic to the western slopes of the Cordillera Oriental in the Santander Department, Colombia.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Direct-developing rainfrogs live in wet forest. They do not need a pond, which is why a logged hillside can erase a species.
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
In crisis
It can be locally common and the population is probably stable. Even so, habitat loss caused by agriculture and cattle ranching is a major threat.
Direct-developing frogs vanish with the forest floor. There is no pond population waiting off-site.
