The specific name is a noun in the genitive case and is a patronym in honor for Greta Thunberg, a Swedish student, and her global climate activism. Greta initiated a "School Strike for Climate Action" outside the Swedish parliament to demand a radical response to the threat by the ongoing climate change. Then sixteen-year-old

example has inspired students worldwide to carry out similar strikes called Fridays For Future that started in August 2018. In December 2018 she addressed world leaders at the COP24 climate talks in Katowice, Poland, with sharp and unmasked words, and equally impressed a global audience in January 2020 with her unpolitical, direct speech down to the point on "Averting a Climate Apocalypse" at the WEF (World Economic Forum) in Davos, Switzerland. Just recently, she publicly slammed the world leaders at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, November 2021, for not doing enough to meet the demands of the climate emergency. Greta Thunberg represents the authentic voice that exposes the motivations behind the diplomatic curtain of politicians and business stakeholders. Her voice is essential if we want to revert to and maintain a healthy environment on the planet we all share, and not least, learn to respect its magnificent mega-diversity of life that took millions of years to evolve.

Color pattern of specimens from Cerro Brewster, not included in the LDA (DFA) analysis, are consistent with the specimens from Maje Mountains in having a cream dorsum coloration, the margin of the upper lip in females yellow, an iris nearly black with pale dots or speckles, venter dirty white, and general stocky body and head.

sp. nov., in particular the blackish non-reticulated iris and light, unpatterned upper lip, that differs from any other related rainfrog in Panama and Colombia, we confidently allocate specimens available only as photo vouchers from Cerro Bruja, Colon Province, and Altos del Maria, Gaita Hills, Panama Oeste Province to the same species. The latter two localities substantially reduce the gap to El Cope, Cocle Province, the origin of the most western specimen of our Group 1. So far, we have not received photographic vouchers for the specimen from El Cope, but the low 16S-divergence of 2.3% clearly links it to the undescribed species from the Maje Mountains (see above).

The Environmental Vulnerability Score (EVS) of this species is 18, placing it in the upper segment of the high vulnerability categories. This score is based on a contributory score of 6 for distribution limited to Central America in the vicinity of the type locality; 8 for ecological distribution, because it is known only from one forest type, and 4 for reproductive mode, because eggs are laid in moist arboreal situations, and tadpoles undergo direct development (
