“ Ground color of lateral side of head and body light grey. Two inconspicuous oblique darker grey bars below eye, one darker grey bar in temporal area from posterior edge of eye to angle of jaw. Dorsal side of parotoid glands and lateral row of tubercles light grey, sharply contrasting with dark grey to black longitudinal stripe leading from posterior margin of orbit, along lateral side of parotoid gland and below the lateral row of tubercles. Throat, belly, and ventral surfaces of legs whitish with irregular dark grey spots.
Coloration of holotype in life. ”

“ A medium-sized species of the Rhinella margaritifera speciesgroup characterized by the presence of cephalic crests, distinct parotoid glands, lateral row of tubercles, dorsal “dead-leaf” pattern, and mtDNA data (see [36] and Fig. 1) . The new species can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: (1) medium size SVL 57.5–59.5 mm in males (n = 3) , 53.5–65.5 mm in females (n = 2) ; (2) snout slightly pointed in dorsal view, protruding beyond the margin of lip, rounded above and curved posteroventrally in profile ”

“ Computational analysis: Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) approaches were applied to construct phylogenetic trees to infer evolutionary positions of our samples in the context of published phylogenies of closely related groups of South American toads (cf. [14] ; [3] ) . The DNA multiple sequence alignment was carried out in MAFFT v7.1 ( [27] ) producing a 415 bp-long alignment. ”

“ All collected and observed specimens were in breeding condition. The female paratype contained numerous small pigmented oviductal eggs. At the type locality, the males were sitting in shallow water of small temporal water bodies along a narrow unpaved road (Fig. 8A) . ”

“ SVL up to 47 mm in males [35.3 mm in adult male holotype] and 57 mm in females, weak bone protrusion at angle of jaw, belly cream in holotype; [37] , [1] , [6] ) ; from Rhinella castaneotica by larger size, presence of lateral rows of enlarged tubercles and absence of bone protrusion at angle of jaw (Rhinella castaneoti ca: SVL 30.9–36.8 mm in males, 33.8–42.6 mm in females, lateral rows of enlarged tubercles absent, weak bone protrusion at angle of jaw present; [2] , [11] , [36] ) ”

“ IWU 235 and IWU 273, subadult specimens, collected in the area of Rio Huatziroki (ca. 11°07'04.2"S, 75°12'05.6"W, and 11°07'40.6"S, 75°11'15.7"W) , at 1915 and 2230 m a.s.l., in the buffer zone of the Protected Forest Pui Pui, Provincia Chanchamayo, Región Junín, Peru, on 13 and 16 June 2013 by Edgar Lehr, Jiří Moravec, Rudolf von May, and Juan Carlos Cusi.
Referred specimens of Rhinella yunga sp. n., (A) adult male (NMP6F 28) in water, ca. 5 km W of Oxapampa, and (B) adult female (IWU 236) from the area of Rio Huatziroki. Photographs by J. Moravec. ”
