Cochranella euknemos

Cochranella euknemos, sometimes known as the San Jose Cochran frog, is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in central Costa Rica and south/eastward to Panama and to the western flank of the Cordillera Occidental in Colombia (Antioquia and Chocó Departments). Some Colombian records might apply to Cochranella mache.

Appearance

Cochranella euknemos are small frogs, males growing to 25 mm (0.98 in) and females to 32 mm (1.3 in) in snout–vent length. They are dorsally blue-green and a little granular, with many small whitish or yellowish spots. Ventrally they are transparent white, but with more yellow on the undersides of the arms and legs. Iris is grayish ivory. Feet are moderately webbed.
