One individual with SVL = 39.9 mm, and total length of 92.4 mm. It has 14 vomerine teeth, 16 costal grooves, tail longer than rostro-cloacal distance, and short and thin limbs. It was observed in Station 5, on the humid leaf litter in wet tropical forest vegetation, at 450 m eleva- tion. This is the first record for the genus Oedipina in the Eastern Cordillera, since Oedipina complex and O. parvipes are distributed in the Cordillera Occidental and Cordillera Central. The individual collected shows significant differences in diagnostic characters such as vomerine teeth ( Fig. 9B, C), costal grooves and palm shape ( Fig. 9D, E), due to which we suggest that it could be a new species.
