Abstract (en):
As a result of the exploration of post-conflict areas in the Colombia BIO project, a new species of green bones frog of the genus Scinax, assignable to the clade Scinax ruber, is described. The species is endemic to the peripheral sub-Andean forests of the middle Magdalena valley in Colombia. This biological entity was previously identified in the scientific literature as Scinax “A”. The new species is recognizable by its average size 28.6-31.1 mm, chromatic pattern and its particular mating call that is similar to the sound of a goat bleating; each vocalization has a duration of 0.21-0.47 s, with a dominant frequency between 2184-3218 Hz.; its larval characteristics were evaluated, which altogether made it possible to clearly differentiate it from other species in the genus in the trans-Andean region of Colombia. With the description of this species, 18 frogs of the genus Scinax are currently recognized in the Colombian territory.

Como resultado de la exploración de áreas en postconflicto enmarcada en el proyecto Colombia BIO,
se realizó la descripción de una nueva especie de Scinax con huesos verdes, asignable al clado de S.
ruber. Esta nueva especie es endémica de los bosques subandinos periféricos del valle medio del río
Magdalena en Colombia. Esta entidad biológica fue previamente identificada en la literatura científica
como Scinax “A” y se caracteriza por su tamaño mediano (28,6-31,1 mm), su patrón cromático y su
vocalización, similar al balido de una cabra, con una duración de 0,21-0,47 s, y frecuencia dominante
entre 2184-3218 Hz. Sus características larvales en conjunto, permiten diferenciarla claramente de otras
especies del género en la región transinterandina de Colombia. Con esta, ascienden a 18 las especies de
Scinax documentadas en el territorio colombiano.
