Atelopus chiriquiensis, the Chiriqui harlequin frog[1] or Lewis' stubfoot toad, is an extinct species of toad in the family Bufonidae that was found in the Cordillera de Talamanca in Costa Rica and western Panama (Province and Bocas del Toro Provinces).[2][3] Its natural habitats were stream margins in lower montane wet forests and rainforests. Its elevational range was Шаблон:Convert asl.[2]

Description

Atelopus chiriquiensis was a moderately sized toad: males measure Шаблон:Convert in snout–vent length and females Шаблон:Convert. Colouring was highly variable and usually different between males and females. They had weakly developed and relatively inconspicuous poison glands scattered over the head and dorsum; nevertheless, they produced tetrodotoxin and aminoacid analog chiriquitoxin , a potent neurotoxin.[1]

Conservation status

This once locally abundant species has not been seen in Costa Rica since 1996 and is considered extinct in the country. It is also thought to have disappeared from Panama as there are no records since late 1990s. The decline was probably linked to chytridiomycosis. Habitat loss and introduced trout were also threats.[2] The IUCN Red List now considers Atelopus chiriquiensis extinct.[7]
