Atelopus ignescens, the Jambato toad or Quito stubfoot toad or Jambato harlequin frog,[2] is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to the northern Andes of Ecuador.[1][3][4] This once abundant species was believed to be extinct until its rediscovery in 2016.[1][5][6][7] The specific name ignescens means "to catch fire," presumably in reference to the orange ventral color of this species.[8]
