5 (see text) Yunganastes is a small genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae found in southern Peru and central to northern Bolivia.

They were formerly placed in the genus Eleutherodactylus as the "Eleutherodactylus fraudator group", subsequently moved to Pristimantis, before becoming recognized as a separate subgenus, and finally, a genus.

[2] Yunganastes are endemic to the cloud forests and humid montane forests of the Cordillera Oriental of the Andes in Bolivia and southern Peru.

[1] The generic name Yunganastes is derived from yunga, the humid forests of the Andean valleys, and the Greek nastes for "dweller".

The head is as wide or wider than the body; the snout is short.
