A new species of Leucostethus (Anura: Dendrobatidae) from the eastern versant of the Central Cordillera of Colombia and the phylogenetic status of Colostethus fraterdanieli.

We describe a new species of Dendrobatidae from the eastern flank of the northern Central Cordillera in Colombia and assign it to the recently named genus Leucostethus. We also assess the phylogenetic status of the Colostethus fraterdanieli "complex" which according to our phylogenetic inference, is closely related to the new species. We use morphological, genetic and bioacoustic evidence to describe the new species and to expand the phylogeny of the genus Leucostethus.

Out of Amazonia: the unexpected trans-Andean distribution of (Lynch and Duellman, 1978) (Anura: Centrolenidae).

The glassfrog genus Cochranella, with nine recognized species, is distributed in the lowlands and mid elevation of the Neotropical forests, from Nicaragua to Bolivia (Guayasamin et al. 2009; Twomey et al. 2014).
