Hyloxalus whymperi

Hyloxalus aeruginosus is a poorly-known species of rocket frog known from the Tanti farm and areas surrounding San Francisco de Las Pampas in northern Ecuador. The holotype specimen was discovered on the Tanti farm, with specimens from the San Francisco de Las Palmas areas being questionably assigned to the species. The holotype specimen may be conspecific with Ameerega erythromos; the specimens from the San Francisco de Las Palmas, meanwhile, have been determined not to be conspecific with A. erythromos. Like several other Hyloxalus species, the call, breeding habits, life cycle, and population numbers of H. whymperi are unknown.
