Pristimantis caryophyllaceus is a species of frog in the Craugastoridae family. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama; records from Colombia prior to 2010 refer to Pristimantis educatoris[2] although some sources continue to report it from that country.[3] Pristimantis caryophyllaceus is sometimes known as the La Loma robber frog, after La Loma, its type locality.[2]
Its natural habitats are primary lowland moist and wet forest, premontane wet forests, and rainforests, occurring in the leaf-litter and low vegetation. It is threatened by habitat loss and possibly chytridiomycosis. It has disappeared from lowland areas of Costa Rica.[1]
