Elachistocleis pearsei (common name: Colombian plump prog) is a species of frog in the Microhylidae family. It is found in the Caribbean drainage of Colombia and Panama and in northwest Venezuela.[2][3]
Elachistocleis pearsei was until recently considered to form monotypic genus Relictivomer, but in molecular phylogeny Elachistocleis pearsei is nested within other Elachistocleis, leading to resurrection of name Elachistocleis pearsei.[4][5]
Biology of Elachistocleis pearsei is poorly known. It is considered to be a lowland species inhabiting forests, possibly also savanna. Breeding takes place in temporary pools. It is probably impacted by habitat loss.[1]
