Abstract

We describe the first cases of albinism in tadpoles of the Cloud Forest Stream Frog Ptychohyla euthysanota. On August 11, 2023, three albino P. euthysanota tadpoles were found in conjunction with 11 tadpoles showing the typical phenotype of the species at Reserva Natural “Refugio del Quetzal”, located at the southern foothill of the Atitlán volcano, Municipality of Santa Bárbara, Suchitepéquez, Guatemala.
