“…Moreover, Ninia teresitae, Rhinobothryum bovalli, and Urotheca euryzona occurs in the entire range of the Chocó-Magdalena province, making them candidates to characterize this biogeographic unit. Other taxa show the same restricted spatial pattern such as Agalychnis terranova (Rivera-Correa et al 2013), Craugastor raniformis (Boulenger 1896), Colostethus inguinalus (Cope 1866), Echinosaura palmeri (Boulenger 1911), and Leucopternis plumbea (Salvin 1868), (Fritts et al 2002;Grant 2004;Marquez et al 2005;Rivera-Correa et al 2013;Ospina-Sarria et al 2015). All these evidences corroborate the hypothesis stated by Hernández-Camacho et al (1992) and support that the Chocó-Magdalena province could be consider a full biogeographic unit.…”

We describe a new species of the genus Ninia from the Chocó-Magdalena biogeographic province, which was previously reported as a distinct population of N. maculata or as N. atrata from the western slopes of the Cordillera Occidental of Colombia. The new species is similar to N. atrata, N. celata, N. espinali, N. franciscoi, and N. maculata. It shares the following characteristics with the species mentioned above: 19 dorsal scale rows without reductions; dorsal ground color black or dark brown; white or cream occipital nuchal collar. However, it is easily distinguished from all other congeners because it has a non-regular color pattern in the ventral surfaces of the head and body, subcaudal surface homogeneously black or dark brown, two nasal scales, and one lateral projection ornamented with a large basal hook-shaped spine that is larger than any other spine on the hemipenial body. The presence of a lateral projection on the hemipenial body makes the new species the only member of the genus from South America that shares this feature with its Central American congeners. This feature suggests a closer relationship with this linage. Finally, our results indicate that proper and careful revision of the Ninia atrata species complex will help to understand and clarify the taxonomic composition of the genus.

“…Despite the fact that our sampling was made in 5 stations along an altitudinal and ecological gradient, widely distributed species like Allobates niputidea, Dendropsophus ebraccatus, Hyalinobatrachium colymbiphyllum, H. valerioi, Leptodactylus fuscus, L. insularum, Scarthyla vigilans, Scinax ruber, Smilisca phaeota, Pseudopaludicola pusilla, Trachycephalus typhonius, and Caecilia thompsoni were not recorded, as opposed to the observations by Acosta-Galvis (2006), Acosta-Galvis (2012a) and Ospina-Sarria et al (2015). These species inhabit altitudes between 50 and 1000 m of elevation (Bernal and Lynch 2008), where agriculture and grasslands are predominantly found, with small relicts of tropical wet forest.…”

“…Nonetheless, posterior surfaces of the thighs have pale markings in C. raniformis and there are also differences in the extension of webbing on outer side of Toe III (Ospina-Sarria et al 2015). These two species also differ markedly in their calls (Ospina-Sarria et al 2015). A total of 37 individuals were found, and they were recorded on the leaf litter between 250 and 870 m (Stations 3, 4 and 5).…”

We studied the species of amphibians from Serranía de Las Quinchas, in the mid Magdalena Valley region of Colombia, comparing the data from a recent fieldwork with museum records and literature. We present a list of 50 species of amphibians (Anura and Caudata). In our survey, we recorded 36 species, of which 6 represented new records. One of the most interesting record is that of the genus Oedipina, since this is the first time the genus is recorded for the Cordillera Oriental. The number of species is what would be expected in a humid tropical forest of the mid-Magdalena river valley, given the co-occurrence of amphibian faunas distributed in the sub-Andean, Caribbean, and Chocó biogeographic regions.

“…The Magdalena River Valley lies between the central and eastern ranges of the Colombian Andes and is host to various endemic faunas including birds (Cracraft 1985), fishes (Anderson and Maldonado‐Ocampo 2011), frogs (Ospina-Sarria et al 2015), lizards (Velasco and Hurtado-Gómez 2014), and insects (Huertas et al 2009; Padilla-Gil 2015). Rhynchotermes armatus is apparently another endemic species from the Magdalena River Valley.…”
