Eleutherodactylus bogotensis
Centrolene (RCS)
"Dark Bogota Highland Frog"
Nov. 14 Bogota, 8700 ft, Cundinamarca, Colombia, S.A.
Many seen on broken - and - brush-covered
W.-facing slope above city, roughly along
lower edge of eucalyptus grove which
covers higher portions, and also in the
lower portions of the grove (we did
not investigate the higher parts - they
may occur there as well). Unlike the
Phylllobates collected today, these anurans
tended to remain motionless when uncovered,
trying to escape only when touched. Their
dark brown color blended well with
the earth on which they were sitting.
