We describe a new species of the Hypsiboas pulchellus Group from the eastern Andes of central Pern (Region Pasco) Calls of both H melanopleura and the new species are described. The new species is more similar to H melanopleura and H palaestes but differs in morphological characters and m coloration pattern. The new species and H melanopleura are included in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the H pulchellus Group that shows them to be sister species and forming a second, independent. Andean clade within the group New collecting sites for H melanopleura are provided with the first record in the Region of Junin and the distribution of H melanopleura, H palaestes, and the new species is illustrated in a map.
