New frog species Pristimantis adnus, discovered in 2010 in the Darien Province of Panama. The name of the new frog (one of two, newly identified species) is a Latinized version of the Spanish term for DNA, which is AND, and was chosen by researchers to underscore the usefulness of genetic techniques as they identify new frog species and determine the relationships between tropical frogs that may look very similar.
