Rulyrana adiazeta is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is endemic to the western slopes of the Cordillera Oriental, Colombia, in the departments of Cundinamarca, Santander, and Tolima. [2] [3]

Its natural habitats are pre-montane and montane forests at elevations of 1,120–2,060 m (3,670–6,760 ft) above sea level. [1] [3] It occurs on vegetation next to streams. It is a common species but is locally suffering from habitat loss caused by agricultural expansion. [1]

<i>Sachatamia punctulata</i> Species of frog

Sachatamia punctulata is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is endemic to the Cordillera Central, Colombia, in the departments of Antioquia, Caldas, and Tolima. Its natural habitats are tropical humid and sub-Andean forests along streams at elevations of 360–1,100 m (1,180–3,610 ft) above sea level.
