Abstract

We report a new locality record for Pristimantis palmeri, an endemic species to Colombia associated to forest and weeds in open areas of Choco, Risaralda, Quindío, Valle del Cauca, and Cauca (900 – 2,400 m.a.s.l.). This report expands its geographical distribution in 177 km toward south and suggests the existence of a discontinuous distribution in the western slope of the Central Cordillera of Colombia.
