Description Color in life is as follows: dorsum brown to orange-tan with brown markings; flanks green to orange-tan with brown markings; flanks green to orange-tan; venter gray to yellow-gray; throat yellow; iris bronze to gray-brown with median horizontal red-brown streak. Pristimantis gladiator most closely resembles P. leoni and P. pyrrhomerus but differs from both in having small heel tubercles, less prominent tubercles on the upper eyelid and above and behind the ear, and round rather than broad subarticular tubercles of the fingers. Pristimantis gladiator has large choanae as does P. leoni, whereas in P. leoni the prevomerine odontophores are concealed. Pristimantis gladiator is also distinguished from P. leoni and P. pyrrhomerus in having orange rather than bright red flash colors.
