Resumen
A new species of the Eleutherodactylus conspicillatus group is named from low cloud forests (740-1660 m) of the eastern flank of the Cordillera Oriental of southern Colombia. The species shares a synapomorphy (supra-anal tubercles) with three other species, E. gutturalis of eastern Amazonia, E. lanthanites of western Amazonia, and E. fallax known from low cloud forests of the Cordillera Central of Colombia. The distribution of the new species is consistent with a recent proposal concerning upper and lower limits of distribution in the Andes.
