Morphometric variation of the paratype series is summarized in Table 3. Variation in dorsal and ventral coloration of preserved specimens is shown in Figure 14. Dorsal coloration in alcohol varies from gray (e.g., CORBIDI 15777) to grayish tan (e.g., CORBIDI 2281, 15775), reddish brown (e.g., CORDIBI 15779), brown (e.g., CORBIDI 8864), grayish brown (e.g., CORBIDI 15780), dark brown (e.g., CORBIDI 8862), or pinkish gray (e.g., CORBIDI 15785); some specimens have scattered reddish brown low tubercles and slightly black flecks (e.g., CORBIDI 15775, 15777, 15784).

dark brown transverse bar in sacral region extending onto flanks (e.g., CORBIDI 15779, 15780, 15784); some specimens have two)(shaped dorsolateral stripes beginning on the upper eyelids and ending on the posterior flanks (e.g., CORBIDI 8862, 8864). The dorsum has tubercles mainly on head and upper eyelid (e.g., CORBIDI 8864, 8861, 15776, 15785), but some specimens have a smooth dorsum without tubercles (e.g., CORBIDI 2281, 3744; Fig. 14). Some specimens have postrictal tubercles, posteroventrally to tympanic annulus (e.g., CORBIDI 15775, 15780).

<paragraph pageId="26" pageNumber="51">The venter of preserved specimens (Fig. 14) varies from black (e.g., CORBIDI 15780, 15785) to dark brown (e.g., CORBIDI 8864) with scattered white or creamy flecks. The throat anteriorly (Fig. 14) varies from brown (e.g., CORBIDI 8863, 15784), dark brown (e.g., CORBIDI 8862), grayish tan (e.g., CORBIDI 2281, 15775) to black (e.g., CORBIDI 15779, 15780) with white flecks (e.g., CORBIDI 15779), one irregular white stain (e.g., CORBIDI 2281, 8862) or stripes (e.g., CORBIDI 8864, 15785) posteriorly. The subcloacal area is white in most specimens (e.g., CORBIDI 15775, 15780, 15785), but it is black in some (e.g., CORBIDI 8862, 8863, 8864).</paragraph>

<paragraph pageId="26" pageNumber="51">Based on digital photographs (Fig. 13): dorsum varies from reddish brown, brownish gray, brown to creamy tan suffused with gray and brown with scattered white flecks, with or without reddish brown or brown low tubercles; some individuals have few scattered dark brown flecks on the dorsum; flanks are white with black or dark brown vertical bars; dorsal markings are dark brown, some individuals are mustard brown dorsolaterally; dorsal surfaces of forelimbs and shanks have dark brown transversal bars; anterodorsal surfaces of the thighs are black to dark brown with two or three spots. The single suborbital bar is white. The venter is black to dark brown mottled with translucent gray, and with white flecks anteriorly; some individuals have scattered white flecks on venter; chest is white; throat is brown, reddish brown, or dark brown with white flecks posteriorly in males (posterior part of throat with white blotch with or without stripes in females), some individuals have a white medial spot adjacent to the chest; the ventral surfaces of the limbs are translucent gray, the thighs are mottled with black or dark brown anteriorly; posteriorly the thighs are black with white flecks; the proximal ventral surface of shanks and arms, from the axillae to near the elbow, have an orange or amber blotch.

<paragraph pageId="26" pageNumber="51">The advertisement call is a pulsed note (Fig. 4E?F). The amplitude of the advertisement call increases gradually until three-quarters of the note duration to decrease abruptly until the end. This call may be followed by one or more click notes. These clicks sometimes are emitted alone. Moreover, the click notes are pulsed, except for the last one which is unpulsed.</paragraph>

Specimens from Chambira (Picota Province) are closely related to Rio Tapiche and Jenaro Herrera specimens (both localities from Requena Province) (Fig. 1); genetic distances between these populations are low (mean p-distances 1.3% in mitochondrial gene 12S). Therefore, we include them tentatively in
<taxonomicName class="Amphibia" family="Hylidae" genus="Dendropsophus" higherTaxonomySource="CoL" kingdom="Animalia" lsidName="Dendropsophus kubricki" order="Anura" pageId="27" pageNumber="52" phylum="Chordata" rank="species" species="kubricki">Dendropsophus kubricki</taxonomicName>
. However, individuals from Chambira and Tarapoto (Picota and San Martin provinces, respectively) show differences in coloration because their dorsal tubercles have the same color as the background, white flecks and reddish brown low tubercles on the dorsum and dorsal surfaces are absent both in life and preservative (present in Rio Tapiche and Jenaro Herrera individuals; Figs 13 14). In addition, there is segregation in acoustic space between advertisement calls from Cordillera Azul (Picota Province) and the type locality (Fig. 5; Table 7). Therefore, it is conceivable that they represent a separate species.
