Pristimantis citriogaster, sometimes known as the throated robber frog, is a species of frog in the Craugastoridae family. It is known from northern Peru near Tarapoto (the type locality) and southeastern Ecuador.[2] Its natural habitats are premontane rainforest and cloud forest. Adults are nocturnal and typically occur on rocks in and along cascading streams.[1] Its altitudinal range is 600–1,094 m (1,969–3,589 ft) asl.[3]
Pristimantis citriogaster is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
