Abstract
Guainía is the least known herpetologically of the departments of Colombia and is of interest because it lies between the savannah zone (Llanos) and the forests of Amazonia. Additionally, it líes at the western edge of the Guyanan Region. Twenty seven species of frogs are reported for the department (22 of those from the immediate vicinity of the community of La Ceiba) and two others surely occur in the department as well (specimens are available from a town adjacent to Guainía). The fauna consists of no less than four bufonids, 11 hylids, 11 leptodactylids, two microhylids, and one pipid. In this contribution, we report four species from Colombia for the first time: Aparasphenodon venezolanus (first record of the genus for Colombia), Hyla ornatissma, Leptodactylus longirostris, and Osteocephalus oophagus.
