All the aforementioned characteristics are shared by the new species. Additionally, analyses of three mitochondrial genes place the new species as a close relative of other

; 2011); however the new species is diagnosable in life due to the presence of two unusual coloration traits: (i) the presence of middorsal dark green spots on the anterior half of the body (Fig. 1), and (ii) a completely exposed heart (parietal peritoneum and pericardium transparent). Only two other glassfrog species share, to some degree, these traits, the Central American

The stream itself was slow-flowing, relatively narrow (approximately 3 m wide), and with depths no greater than 100 cm. Syntopic species at Kallana are:

Given that
<taxonomicName class="Amphibia" family="Centrolenidae" genus="Hyalinobatrachium" higherTaxonomySource="CoL" kingdom="Animalia" lsidName="Hyalinobatrachium" order="Anura" pageId="6" pageNumber="7" phylum="Chordata" rank="genus">Hyalinobatrachium</taxonomicName>
species are morphologically conserved and that many distinctive color traits are lost in preserved specimens (i.e., dorsal green spots), finding new records of
<taxonomicName lsidName="H. yaku" pageId="6" pageNumber="7" rank="species" species="yaku">H. yaku</taxonomicName>
in herpetological collections is challenging. Also, many species of the genus are arboreal and difficult to find in nature, but this scarcity does not necessarily mean that the species have low abundances. Available information is insufficient to suggest an evaluation following IUCN criteria, thus we suggest that
<taxonomicName lsidName="H. yaku" pageId="6" pageNumber="7" rank="species" species="yaku">H. yaku</taxonomicName>
is a Data Deficient species.
