. Breviora. BREVIORA No. 459 described species. All of the remaining species of Phyllohates recog- nized by Silverstone (the femoralis, picius, and irivitiatus groups) were reassigned to Dendrohates. The new species most closely resembles those in Silverstone's pictus group on the basis of size, coloration, and the absence of toe webbing and we tentatively assign it to the genus Dendrohates. Dendrohates erythromos sp. nav. Holotype: MCZ 96384, an adult female collected at the Centro Cientifico Rio Palenque, 47 km S of Santo Domingo de los Colora- dos, Provincia Pichincha, Ecuador, 170 m, on 17
