NAVARRO-MORALES, Alejandro  and  RUIZ-VALDERRAMA, Diego Huseth. Description, extension, and new distribution register for Dendropsophus manonegra (Rivera & Orrico, 2013) and Dendropsophus sarayacuensis (Shreve, 1935) (Amphibia: Anura: Hylidae) in the Andean-Amazon piedmont region in the department of Caquetá - Colombia. Rev. acad. colomb. cienc. exact. fis. nat. [online]. 2019, vol.43, n.168, pp.502-507. ISSN 0370-3908.  https://doi.org/10.18257/raccefyn.889.

We report the extension of the present distribution area, as well as new records for two species of the genus Dendropsophus, family Hylidae, in the Andean-Amazonian region of the department of Caquetá, Colombia: In three localities of the municipality of Florencia: Villaraz, Paraíso, La Holanda, and two in the municipality of Belén de los Andaquíes: the indigenous reservation La Serinda and Agua Dulce. By visual encounter from 19:00 - 23:00, we collected 38 individuals of Dendropsophus manonegra and three of Dendropsophus sarayacuensis; we made the taxonomic description of the individuals while alive and already preserved. We also discuss here the altitudinal variations in which these species are usually found as reported in studies by different authors. The new records are fundamental for the knowledge of the Colombian herpetofauna, especially in the department of Caquetá.
