The Guajira stubfoot toad or Carrikeri harlequin frog is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is about 5 cm (2.0 in) long and typically black, though some populations have orange coloration. This species is endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range of northern Colombia. It is critically endangered because of the chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, and habitat destruction due to agriculture. The species had not been seen from 1994 until it was rediscovered in early 2008.
"Colostethus" ruthveni is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to the Magdalena Department in northern Colombia. The specific name ruthveni honors Alexander Grant Ruthven, an American herpetologist. It is known from the lower slopes of the north-western portion of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Its natural habitats are tropical dry forests and cloud forests where it occurs near streams, and is threatened by habitat loss. Males of this species on average have a snout-vent length of 18.9–20.1 millimetres (0.74–0.79 in) whereas females average about 19.8–24.1 millimetres (0.78–0.95 in).
Plectrohyla teuchestes is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Guatemala and only known with certainty from its type locality on the southern slope of the Sierra de Xucaneb, in the Alta Verapaz Department. There is also a report from another locality in Alta Verapaz. Frogs from Honduras now known as Plectrohyla exquisita were formerly included in this species.
Arlequinus is a genus of frogs in the family Hyperoliidae endemic to the Western High Plateau and Mount Cameroon, Cameroon. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Arlequinus krebsi, commonly known as the Mebebque frog. Its natural habitats are dense tropical forest; it is threatened by habitat loss caused by wood cutting, agriculture, and human settlement.
Kassina cochranae, sometimes known as the Cochran's running frog, is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is found in southern Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, western Ivory Coast, and at least tentatively, southern Ghana. Kassina arboricola was for a period treated as a subspecies Kassina cochranae arboricola, but it is now considered a valid species.
Leptopelis macrotis, sometimes called the big-eyed forest tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in the rainforests of Sierra Leone, southern Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast, and southern Ghana. Notice that similar common name "big-eyed tree frog" is sometimes used for Leptopelis vermiculatus from Tanzania and for Litoria exophthalmia from New Guinea.
Gunther's robber frog, Günther's robber frog, or Guerreran robber frog is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to the Sierra Madre del Sur in the Mexican state of Guerrero. Its natural habitats are pine, oak, and pine-oak forests with plenty of leaf-litter on the ground. It is a relatively common species but declining and threatened by habitat loss and disturbance.
Cryptobatrachus boulengeri, also known as Boulenger's backpack frog, is a species of frogs in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia. The specific name honours George Albert Boulenger, an eminent herpetologist.
"Hyla" nicefori also known as the Colombian backpack frog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the border region between Boyacá and Casanare in Colombia and only known from the holotype. The name format, as used by the American Museum of Natural History's Amphibian Species of the World, indicates that while this species is temporarily kept in the hylid type genus Hyla, it belongs elsewhere in the family and will be reassigned pending a taxonomic resolution. It was originally placed in Cryptobatrachus, but a later study revealed a number morphological differences showing that it is not in family Hemiphractidae, instead pointing to it being a hylid frog, perhaps Hyloscirtus.
Serranobatrachus carmelitae, also known as Carmelita's robber frog, is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the north-western slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, in northern Colombia. Its natural habitats are tropical riparian forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Serranobatrachus delicatus is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, and is only known from the Magdalena Department. Common name delicate robber frog has been coined for this species.
Serranobatrachus insignitus is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. Its common name is ground robber frog. It is endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. Its natural habitats are cloud forests at elevations of 1,530–2,134 m (5,020–7,001 ft) asl. These frogs have been found under logs or rocks on roadsides, or when active, on top of rocks, logs or low vegetation, beside streams. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Serranobatrachus megalops is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. Its common name is San Lorenzo robber frog. It is endemic to the northwestern slopes of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, northern Colombia. It occurs in cloud forest areas where it is found in closed-canopy secondary forests, riparian forests, and pine plantations. It is a very common, terrestrial frog that can be found on fallen leaves and under rocks and logs. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Serranobatrachus ruthveni is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to the north-western slope of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in the Magdalena Department, northern Colombia. The specific name ruthveni honors Alexander Grant Ruthven, an American herpetologist. Common name Ruthven's robber frog has been coined for this species.
Serranobatrachus sanctaemartae is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, northern Colombia. Its natural habitats are tropical moist montane forests and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Merlin's dwarf gray frog, or Merlin's clawed frog, is a species of frog in the family Pipidae. It is monotypic within the genus Pseudhymenochirus. It is found in southern Guinea-Bissau, western Guinea, and southern Sierra Leone.
