Abstract
A new species of Elachistocleis is described from the municipality of Xapuri, state of Acre, northern Brazil. It distinguishes from other species by the presence of an immaculate ventral coloration, SVL larger than 31 mm, and width head more than 6.9 mm in adult males. Multivariate analysis based on external morphology also distinguishes the new species from the most morphologically similar species. The advertisement call is described and tadpoles remain unknown.
