Abstract
A new species of frog from the Eleutherodactylus nigrovittatus group is described from cloud forests in northern Santander. The new species is most similar to E. nigrovittatus of the Amazon basin but is equally closely related to the Andean E. latens and E. mantipus found on the Central and Western cordilleras. Based on a phylogenetic analysis, the primitive habitat for frogs of this species group is páramo with subsequent downward movement.
