Pristimantis unistrigatus, common name: striped robber frog, is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is found in the Andean valleys from southern Colombia to central Ecuador. Adult males measure 15–29 mm (0.6–1.1 in) and adult females 23–39 mm (0.9–1.5 in) in snout–vent length. The head is wider than the body in females but equal or narrower in males. The snout is rounded in lateral view and subacuminate to subovoid in dorsal view. The tympanum is visible but not distinct and partly obscured by the supratympanic fold. The finger and toe tips bear discs. Coloration is variable. The most common morph is pale brown above with an indefinite darker interorbital triangle and a series of brown spots forming dorsal chevrons. Another morph is similar to the first one but has a narrow, cream vertebral stripe running through the body. The third form is striped with several tan, medium-brown, and dark brown stripes on the back. Males have an external subgular vocal sac.

Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Robber Frog sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 154 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, June and October–December
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Robber Frog in Quito on a given day, against about 40% in January–February and July, the lowest months.
Only Quito, in our data
Quito is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Striped Robber Frog sightings: about 50% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Striped Robber Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Quito (154 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
