A small amphibian fauna from a previously unexplored paramo of the Cordillera Occidental in western Colombia

Four amphibian species were found on an isolated paramo (3300-3600 m) in the central part of the Cordillera Occidental of Colombia. The single salamander species is proposed as a new species of the Bolitoglossa palmata group and the two Eleutherodactylus species are described as new. One of these appears to be a member of the E. leptolophus group Centrolene buckleyi, a widespread species in the northern Andes, was also found.
