Pristimantis buckleyi is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found on the Andes of Colombia and Ecuador.[2] Specifically, it occurs on the both flanks of the Cordillera Central and on the eastern flank of the Cordillera Occidental in Colombia,[3] and on the Cordillera Real in Ecuador south Cayambe, at elevations of 2,500–3,700 m (8,200–12,100 ft) asl.[1]
Pristimantis buckleyi is named after Mr. Buckley, the collector of the type series from Intac, Imbabura Province of Ecuador.[4]
