Abstract

A new species of Eleutherodactylus is described from the upper elevations of the Sierra Maestra in eastern Cuba. It is a common and widespread species that calls from arboreal sites and is very similar, morphologically, to the common lowland species E. auriculatus. However, the two species occur sympatrically at intermediate elevations in the Sierra Maestra and have distinctive calls.
