Abstract
Fifty-nine native species and two introduced species of frogs and toads occur in the lowlands of the Caribbean Region of Colombia. Of these 61 species, 54 have life cycles that include an aquatic larval stage. In order to promote ecological studies on these species, a key with illustrations (of 29 species) are provided to allow confident identification for most tadpoles encountered in these lowlands.
