[en] The Atelopus spumarius species, also known as Amazonian Arlequin was registered in the equatorial amazon. Through several censuses carried out in February and August 2011, two records of the Atelopus spumarius species were found at the Fatima Agroecological Research Station (ECAF), in the Pastaza Province. These records allow us to widen the range of distribution from 600 m.a.s.l to 950 m.a.s.l. and confirm the presence of this species, which according to data provided on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List has not being seen in Ecuador since 1994. Thanks to the records, effective conservation plans can be drawn for this species. Furthermore, it also demonstrates the high value of ECAF conservation efforts.
