Abstract (en):
A new species of nurse frog is described from the Andean foothills in the department of Boyacá and associated Orinoco River basin in Colombia. This species has a morphological similarity to Hyloxalus picachos, which inhabits the Andean foothills in the department of Caquetá but differs due to the presence of an oblique lateral band that extends to the snout, in addition to its chromatic pattern of the iris in life. We describe the ontogenetic change of its larval stages along with its vocalizations, which are composed of simple notes, with a vocalization rate of 124 notes per minute and spectral structure consisting of 5 harmonics with a dominant frequency between 4213.3 and 5828.2 Hz. With the description of this new species, 23 species are recognized for this genus in Colombia.

Se describe una nueva especie de rana nodriza proveniente de las estribaciones andinas en el
departamento de Boyacá y asociada a la cuenca del río Orinoco en Colombia. Esta especie posee una
similitud morfológica con Hyloxalus picachos que habita en las estribaciones andinas en el departamento
de Caquetá, pero difiere de esta porque la banda lateral oblicua se extiende hasta el rostro y por su
patrón cromático del iris en vida. Se describe el cambio ontogénico de sus estados larvales junto con sus
vocalizaciones que están compuestas por notas simples, con una tasa de vocalización de 124 notas por
minuto y con estructura espectral que consiste en cinco armónicos con una frecuencia dominante entre
4213,3--5828,2 Hz. Con la descripción de esta nueva especie se reconocen 23 especies para este género
en Colombia.
