Abstract
Three biogeographic hypotheses are available for the forested lowlands of eastern Colombia and the distributional data for Osteocephalus planiceps are contrary to each hypothesis. The distributional data for another uncommon treefrog (Hypsiboas hutchinsi) are acceptable for one of the three hypotheses but not the other two. These biogeographic hypotheses require serious study to decide if any one of them is consistent with a rich database available in Colombian museums.
