Pristimantis eremitus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in the Cordillera Occidental in northwestern Ecuador from the Cotopaxi Province northward and on western slope of the Colombian Massif in the Nariño Department, extreme southwestern Colombia. The specific name eremitus is Latin for "lonely" or "solitary" and refers to this species being the only western-Andean species among its closest relatives. Common names Chiriboga robber frog and lonely rainfrog have been coined for it.
