Elegant stubfoot toad
The elegant stubfoot toad (''Atelopus elegans'') is a species of toad in the Bufonidae family found in lowlands and Andean slopes of northwest Ecuador to asl and on the Gorgona Island, off southwest coast of Colombia. It was described by George Albert Boulenger in 1882 based on a specimen collected by Edward Whymper.〔 It is known in Spanish as ''rana jambato del Pacífico''〔 or simply ''jambato del Pacífico''.〔
==History and taxonomy==
The species was described by George Albert Boulenger in 1882 based on a female specimen collected by Edward Whymper during his expedition to Ecuador in 1879–1880.〔 Toads from the Gorgona Island were described by Thomas Barbour in 1905 as a new species, ''Atelopus gracilis'', but later authors have considered them to be the same species as ''Atelopus elegans''.〔 Analyses using molecular methods have not included ''Atelopus elegans'', and the colour difference between the mainland and Gorgona populations suggests that the validity of ''Atelopus gracilis'' remains possible.〔 ''Atelopus gracilis'' is sometimes recognized as a subspecies, ''Atelopus elegans gracilis''.〔〔
