First record of Colombian red-eyed tree frog Agalychnis terranova from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia with a description of its advertisement call

Abstract

Based on collected specimens and phylogenetic information, we provide the first record of the Colombian redeyed tree frog, Agalychnis terranova, from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia. This species is known from several localities on the middle Magdalena river valley and the Pacific lowlands. With this new record, the known geographic distribution of this frog is extended about 370 km north-west from its previous northernmost record. Additionally, we describe for the first time the tonal advertisement call of this species, which consisted of one or two notes with a total duration of 0.52 s and dominant frequency of about 1.74 kHz.
