Niceforonia columbiana

Niceforonia columbiana is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae, sometimes known as the Colombian Andes frog. It is endemic to Colombia.^[2][3] It is only known from the holotype, which is now lost. The type locality, "Monte Redondo, Buenavista" on the Cordillera Oriental, is in either Cundinamarca or Meta Department,^[1][2][3] and is considered questionable by some.^[4] It might be a synonym of Leptodactylus hylaedactylus^[1] (=Adenomera hylaedactyla).
