  • JOHN D. LYNCH
The Villavicencio Region, at the base of the eastern mountain range, harbors an
amphibian fauna consisting of three caecilians, 45 frogs, and one salamander. This
fauna includes 16 abundant species of frogs and toads that occupy open habitats
and which do not invade forested areas of these lowlands. An additional 24 species
require moist conditions and occur principally in areas supporting forests. Seven
other species are species of the Andean slopes that have their lowest records in
the lowlands. This local fauna is enriched in treefrogs and impoverished in terms
of centrolenids and leptodactylids relative to the diversities of various amphibian
groups in the country as a whole.
