Abstract
Eleutherodactylus nervicus is described from the Alto del Tigre on the border between Cundinamarca and Meta. The species is closely related to E. nicefori but has obvious digital disks. Eleutherodactylus nicefori is redescribed based on a more complete sampling of its populations. The species is distributed in páramo habitats in northern Boyacá, southern Norte de Santander, and southeastern Santander. Eleutherodactylus nicefori is pattern polymorphic, like many species of the genus, but has reduced digital disks with little evidence of ventral pads (its terminal phalanges approach those of frogs of the genus Phrynopus). In spite of superficial similarities, E. nervicus and E. nicefori are not closely related to E. ginesi of the Cordillera de Mérida, Venezuela.
