Abstract

Scinax ruber and Hypsiboas pugnax are nocturnal and arboreal species, and can be found typically in open areas with human disturbance. Here, we present the first record of S. ruber and H. pugnax from the departments of Valle del Cauca and Cauca, Colombia, and the southernmost record in the Rio Cauca valley.
