Angelito Stub-foot Toad (Atelopus angelito)
The Angelito Stub-foot Toad was described in 1998; it is known from two localities, one in Colombia and the other one in northern Ecuador (only based on museum specimens).
The species is beautifully green colored with a rather yellowish green under side.
The Angelito Stub-foot Toad was already nearly extinct when it was described and only few specimens were found; it was last recorded in 2000 and appears to be extinct now.
