In this study, males SVL = 22.9–28.2, females SVL = 24.9–30.5mm. Head as wide as the body, relatively small eyes; 2 dermal scutes on the distal end of the fingers; toes with basal webbing; dorsum dark or light brown, light dorsolateral line and brown or gray venter in males, cream with brown marbling in females. A total of 28 individuals were found, only observed in riparian forest (Stations 2 and 3). This is the first record for the species in Boyacá department, while it was formerly reported in the departments of Cundinamarca, Huila and Tolima, on the eastern slope of the Cordillera Central, and the west- ern slope of the Cordillera Oriental along the Magdalena River inter-Andean Valley ( Acosta-Galvis 2019).
