Pristimantis adnus is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Panama and is only known from its type locality in Serranía del Sapo, Darién Province.[3] The species was found while researchers were working on a way to save Panama's frogs from extinction from the deadly amphibian disease chytridiomycosis. The frog was collected in Panama's Darién Province in 2003 and described as a new species in 2010. The name of the species is a Latinized version of the Spanish term for DNA which is ADN.[4][2]
