Barycholos pulcher is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae.[2] It is endemic to the Pacific lowlands of Ecuador, up to 600 m (2,000 ft) asl.

Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forest. It can also live in secondary forest, provided that habitats with leaf-litter are available. This locally common species is threatened by habitat loss and pollution.[1]
