Abstract

A new species of red Gastrotheca is named from the cloud forests of the northem part of the Cordillera Occidental of Colombia. The new species appears to be very closely related to G. bufona and G. guentheri but is readily distinguished by the red coloration in life, the red throats of males, a blue-white patch on the lower eyelid, and its deep frontoparietal furrow. The new species exhibits direct development and is sympatric with the larger G. guentheri at sorne localities in northwestem Colombia.
