Mashpi Torrenteer
Hyloscirtus mashpi
Hyloscirtus mashpi, also known as Mashpi torrenteer and Mashpi stream treefrog, is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the western slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes and known from a few localities in Pichincha, Imbabura, and Esmeraldas Provinces. It is named after its type locality, Mashpi Reserve. Furthermore, the word mashpi is a Yumbo word meaning "friend of water", which agrees with the habitat requirements of this species.
