FROGS OF COLOMBIA — COCHRAN AND GOIN 161 



(1926, p. 193), apparently without checking type localities, described 

 Cryptobatrachus incertus from Sonson in Antioquia. 



Three distinct populations of Cryptobatrachus are now known from 

 Colombia. One is from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Mag- 

 dalena, for which the name boulengeri Ruthven (type locality, San 

 Lorenzo) is available. Another is in the Cordillera Central of the Andes 

 of northern Colombia in the state of Antioquia, and for it two names 

 are available: fuhrmanni Peracca with the type locality "Guaca" 

 (now known as Heliconia), about 18 kilometers southwest of Medellin; 

 and incertus Barbour, with the type locality Sons6n, about 70 kilo- 

 meters south-southeast of Medellin. Peracca's name antedates Bar- 

 bour's by twelve years. The third population is in the northern end 

 of the Cordillera Oriental of the Andes of northern Colombia in the 

 states of Santander and Boyacd; for that population we herein propose 

 the name nicefori. 



Dunn (1943, p. 311) indicated that there was an undescribed 

 Cryptobatrachus in northern Colombia, and he (Dunn, 1944c, p. 517) 

 pointed out correctly, apparently for the first time, that the name 

 Cryptobatrachus fuhrmanni applied to the population in the Cordillera 

 Central and the name Cryptobatrachus boulengeri applied to the one 

 in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. 



The specimens (MZUM 74812 and MLS 202) listed under C. 

 boulengeri from San Gil in Santander are the only ones of that species 

 recorded from outside the Santa Marta Mountains. They certainly 

 are not identical with nicefori of adjacent Boyacd, and the data, 

 if correct, would seem to indicate that boulengeri probably occurs that 

 throughout the little-collected Sierra de Perijd and Sierra de Ocafia 

 form the northern extension of the Oriental Andes.
