Yunganastes is a small genus of craugastorid frogs distributed in southern Peru and Bolivia. They were formerly included in Eleutherodactylus (as Eleutherodactylus fraudator group), subsequently moved to Pristimantis, before becoming recognized as a separate subgenus, and finally, a genus. Its sister taxon is Pristimantis.[2] Yunganastes are endemic to the cloud forests and humid montane forests of the Cordillera Oriental of the Andes in Bolivia and southern Peru.[1]
