Abstract
Two new species of Eleutherodactylus from the Valle de Sibundoy, Putumayo, Colombia, are described. These species can be distinguished easily from similar species by external morphology and by their distinctive coloration patterns. This report demonstrates that southwestern Colombia continues to be one of the least studied regions in terms of its amphibian fauna.References
