Paa cf. ercepeae (Dubois, 1974) Specimens examined: One male adult (NHM 17A-0120); Fig. 4 Measurements: SVL = 75.2 mm, HL = 22.2 mm, HW = 30.3 mm, EL = 8.5 mm, IND = 8.4 mm, IOD = 7.5 mm, UEW = 5.7 mm, NS = 5.2 mm, EN = 3.6 mm, LA = 12.8 mm, FLL = 15.1 mm, HAL = 19.3 mm, FL = 38.1 mm, TL = 41.3 mm, TSL = 23.3 mm, FOL = 35.1 mm, F1 = 6.5 mm, F2 = 7.2 mm, F3 = 10.9 mm, F4 = 8.3 mm, T1 = 6.7 mm, T2 = 9.4 mm, T3 = 13.2 mm, T4 = 19.1 mm, and T5 = 12.6 mm. Diagnostic features (measured in mm): Our field-collected specimen of Paa cf. ercepeae is a robust adult frog (SVL 75.2) devoid of spines in the hand region, particularly the first and second fingers and in the pectoral region. The snout is rounded, and the head is broader than long (HW 30.3, HL 22.2). The canthus is weakly developed (blunt) and rounded, fully-fledged supra-tympanic fold but the tympanum is indistinct. Nostril is closer to the eye than to the snout (EN 3.6, NS 5.2). The loreal region is slightly concave and the nostril is dorsolaterally positioned. Eyes are large (EL 8.5, 28% of HW) with patchy iris and rhombus-shaped pupils. The interorbital distance is larger than the upper eyelid width (IOD 7.5, UEW 5.7). Vomerine teeth and one set of maxillary teeth are present. Finger/toe tips are rounded into small discs. No webbing in fingers but toes are fully webbed. The relative length of fingers follows the pattern I
