Pristimantis educatoris is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is found in Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia and is similar to—and prior to its description in 2010—confused with Pristimantis caryophyllaceus.[2][3] The species was first found in 2002 while researchers were working on a way to save Panama's frogs from extinction from the deadly amphibian disease chytridiomycosis. The species was discovered in Omar Torrijos National Park in Coclé Province, Panama.[1][4]
