The Pirri harlequin frog, also called the Pirri Range stubfoot toad, is a species of true toad in the family Bufonidae found in the Northwestern Andean montane forests of Colombia and Panama, where it lives in subtropical and tropical moist montane forest and along rivers. It belongs to the genus Atelopus, described as the most threatened clade of amphibians, and its own populations have declined under pressure from chytridiomycosis, habitat loss, urbanization, climate change, pesticides, and expanding agriculture. The IUCN lists the species as critically endangered.
