Epipedobates macero is a new species of dendrobatid poison frog from lowland rain forest of the Manu National Park, in the upper Madre de Dios drainage of southeastern Peru. It is most similar to a few other species occurring along the Andean front in eastern Peru, namely E. petersi and E. cainarachi, which differ in details of coloration, morphology, and vocalization.
