Abstract
The poison frog Epipedobates anthonyi is a species of the Dendrobatidae family distributed in a restricted area in Ecuador and Peru; it has high chromatic variation in Ecuadorian populations. An individual with partial leucism was registered in the Province of El Oro-Ecuador. It is the first case formally reported from this species and in the country. This note describes the record and presents photographs to compare a leucistic individual with one with the normal coloration of the area.
