Habitat:
This nocturnal frog inhabits montane humid forest and is often found on the lower branches of shrubs (0.5–2 m) and on leaf-litter (Acosta-Galvis and Hoyos 2006). It has not been found in disturbed areas. A juvenile was collected in the month of February, so it is possible that reproduction may take place during the months of October or November (A. Rymel Acosta Galvis pers comm.). Its reproductive mode is probably direct development from eggs, as with other congeners (A. Rymel Acosta Galvis pers comm. February 2017).
Range:
The species is endemic to the Tatamá mountain range of the western Cordillera of Colombia. It has been found at two sites separated by c. 20 km (as the crow flies) in the Department of Risaralda, one in the municipality of Santuario (type locality) and one in the municipality of Mistrató (Acosta-Galvis and Hoyos 2006, Acosta-Galvis 2007), as well as, in the municipality of Urrao, Antioquia Department, Colombia (Acosta-Galvis and Hoyos 2006). It has an altitudinal range between 1,550 and 2,585 m Asl. Its EOO is 1,562 km2 and it occurs in three threat-defined locations.
Conservation:
Conservation Actions
The type locality is within the Parque Nacional Natural Tatamá buffer zone. In addition, private reserves have been created in the western slope of the buffer zone, such as Reserva Natural Karagabí (A. Rymel Acosta Galvis pers. comm.).
Conservation Needed
An increase in the authority of park staff is recommended (A. Rymel Acosta Galvis pers. comm.).
Research Needed
More information is needed on this species' distribution, population status, natural history, and threats. There is a need for monitoring the population status of this species given the threat of habitat loss throughout its range, including in the buffer zone of the protected area in which the species occurs.
