Despite the high species richness in Pristimantis frogs, their acoustic repertoire remains poorly known, particularly defensive acoustic signals such as the distress call that have gone largely undocumented. Herein, we provide quantitative data of the distress call emitted by a female of Pristimantis racemus and extend the geographical distribution 187 km south from previously known localities in the southwestern Colombian Andes.
