), meaning conservation or preservation. We dedicate this new species to the efforts made by Conservation International (CI) to protect the Earth’s natural heritage, both by promoting investigation and conservation. The species was collected during a RAP funded by CI’s Venezuelan office. We use the name as a nominative in apposition. The common English name Conservation landfrog; and the common Spanish name “Ranita nublada de los conservacionistas are suggested. We use the English common name "landfrog" rather than "rainfrog" (as has been used by other authors) for terraranans because it is the English translation of "Terrarana." Also, terraranans are direct developers and breed on land, not using rain water, and often vocalize when there is no rain.
