Description
Franz Werner described Atelopus subornatus based on three specimens (syntypes), for which the total body length was 30 mm (1.2 in). The body is relatively slim. The head is as wide as long. The fingers have only some basal webbing whereas the toes are heavily webbed. The dorsum is dark red-brown, turning to yellowish or greenish on the sides.
Range & habitat
Atelopus subornatus inhabits both pristine and disturbed cloud forests as well as sub-páramos at elevations of 2,000–3,020 m (6,560–9,910 ft) above sea level. Breeding takes place in streams. It is threatened by chytridiomycosis as well as habitat loss caused by agricultural expansion and water pollution from pig farms.
