Figure 8 Time-tree for the Pacific clade of the Pristimantis lacrimosus species group. The tree is based on sequences of 16S, 12S, ND1, and RAG1 genes. Divergence times, in millions of years (blue numbers) are shown on each node. For each individual, the species name is followed by the voucher number.

Figure 5 Phylogenetic relationships of the Pacific clade of the Pristimantis lacrimosus species group. Maximum likelihood tree obtained for the 16S, 12S, ND1 and RAG1 genes. Branch support (blue numbers) are shown as aLRT values (before the slash) and ultrafast bootstrap values (after the slash). For each individual, the species name is followed by the voucher number. In the new species, the voucher number is followed by the abbreviation of the province and the locality (all in Ecuador). Abbreviations: BO = Bolívar, EO = El Oro, ES = Esmeraldas, MA = Manabí, PI = Pichincha, SD = Santo Domingo. Photographs of the new species and similar species from the Ecuadorian Chocó are shown on the right.

Figure 4 Distribution of P. milpe sp. nov. and the type localities of P. latidiscus and P. subsigillatus. Localities of P. milpe sp. nov. are based on museum specimens. Blue diamonds are localities with specimens with confirmed identification (Museo de Zoología Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, QCAZ); red diamonds represent localities obtained from the GBIF database (identified as "P. subsigillatus") from the Museum of Comparative Zoology Harvard University (MCZ), Museo Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (MUTPL), Museo de Zoología Universidad San Francisco de Quito (ZSFQ), Museo de Zoología, Universidad Tecnológica Indoamérica (MZUTI), National Museum of Natural History (USNM), and University of Kansas Museum of Natural History (KU). GBIF localities require confirmation. The type localities of P. latidiscus and P. subsigillatus are also shown with a star (NHMUK).
