Abstract (en):
During an exploratory field trip, made to identify possible study areas in one of the isolated paramos north of the Arcabuco region (Boyacá, Colombia), a species of terrestrial frog assignable to the unistrigatus species group of the genus Pristimantis was discovered. It is similar in morphology to the species group with reduced discs formed by Pristimantis mnionaetes, P. nervicus and P. nicefori of the Cordillera Oriental of Colombia. These species allow the recognition of 10 species of this genus associated with high mountain environments in the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia. Data on their morphology, distribution and natural history and associated anurans reported from this geographical area are presented.
Abstract (es):
Durante el desarrollo de una salida exploratoria, con el fin de identificar áreas de estudio en una de las unidades de páramos aisladas al norte de la región de Arcabuco (Boyacá, Colombia), se realiza el hallazgo de una nueva especie del género Pristimantis asignable al grupo unistrigatus. Esta especie es similar en su morfología al grupo de especies con discos reducidos, conformado por Pristimantis mnionaetes, P. nervicus y P. nicefori propias de los páramos de la cordillera Oriental de Colombia. Estas especies permiten en conjunto el reconocimiento de diez especies de este género asociadas a los ambientes de alta montaña en la cordillera Oriental de Colombia. Se presentan datos relacionados con su morfología, distribución e historia natural y se reporta la anurofauna asociada a esta área geográfica.
