Abstract
Based on molecular and morphological evidence, we report the first record of Eleutherodactylus nitidus (Peters, 1870) from Mexico City, in the urban area of Panteón Xilotepec, Xochimilco. We discuss the remarkable urban adaptability of Eleutherodactylus and the need for additional sampling to determine if E. nitidus is native or introduced to Mexico City.
