Pristimantis cantitans

Pristimantis cantitans is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae.

It is endemic to Venezuela and only known from its type locality, the summit of Cerro Yaví (2,150 m (7,050 ft) above sea level), a sandstone table-top mountain (tepui) in the Amazonas State.

[1][3] The specific name cantitans alludes to the day-and-night calling behavior of this species and is derived from the Latin cantito (="to sing often").

The body is brown in color with some darker markings.

[2] The species is nocturnal but males call during both day and night from concealed sites in caves and from beneath thick moss mats growing over sandstone.
