Abstract

A new frog of the genus Eleutherodactylus is named from intermediate elevations of the western flank of the Cordillera Occidental in western Antioquia, Colombia. The new species, along with E. bellona and E. mars, belongs to the bellona species group. The three species are allopatric and occupy a small area of the cordillera in western Antioquia and adjacent Risaralda. Each species exhibits autapomorphies.
