Many anuran species remain to be formally named and described in Amazonia, notably in the Guiana Shield and particularly in megadiverse groups such as Pristimantis. These descriptions are urgently needed to include species in local conservation and protection policies. In French Guiana, two species of Pristimantis of the P. lacrimosus group have been reported as Pristimantis sp. 3 and Pristimantis sp. 5. Using integrative taxonomy, we compared these two species with all other species of the lacrimosus group and confirmed their status as distinct species. Herein, we describe Pristimantis fouqueti sp. nov. and Pristimantis flavus sp. nov., both endemic to the eastern Guiana Shield lowlands.
