Abstract
The glassfrog Centrolene daidaleum is considered endemic to the Cordillera Oriental of the Colombian Andes, and is known only from eight localities between 1,600 and 2,060 m, on the western slope of this mountain system. Herein we report the first record of this species from Venezuela based on specimens coming from the Sierra de Perijá, Zulia state. The species’ altitudinal range is extended, and some ecological information is provided.
