I don't believe that it has a "new name" yet due to the fact that there is some argument now that it is indeed a new species after all, and not a color morph or sub-species of Atelopus spumarius (or perhaps A. flavescens) that has been known from a site across the river. So far, I haven't found a source for a scientific description or paper proclaiming it a new species, at least not on line. There seems to be only the one photo available on line. Time will tell, no doubt.
In any event, it is a beautiful frog.
