Lynch known from páramos primarily on the Cordillera Occidental of Ecuador. Eleutherodactylus leptolophus and E. peraticus are new species of the unistrigatus Group named from the Páramo de Puracé and Páramo de las Hermosas, respectively. These are diminutive frogs most closely related to
E. myersi (Goin and Cochran) from the Nudo de Pasto and to E. trepidotus Lynch from the subpáramos of the eastern versant of the Cordillera Oriental of Ecuador. The five new species with E. buckleyi (Boulenger) comprise the six species of Eleutherodactylus now known to inhabit páramos in the Cordillera Central of Colombia.
de Colombia. Estas especies son afines a E. orcesi Lynch y E. thymelensis Lynch, conocidas principalmente de páramos en la Cordillera Occidental del Ecuador. Se describen además Eleutherodactylus leptolophus y E. peraticus, también
del grupo unistrigatus, provenientes de los páramos de Puracé y Las Hermosas, respectivamente. Estas son ranas diminutas, muy estrechamente relacionadas con E. myersi (Goin s: Cochran) del Nudo de Pasto, y con E. trepidotus Lynch
de los subpáramos de la vertiente oriental de la Cordillera Oriental del Ecuador. Las cinco especies nuevas representan, junto con E. buckleyi (Boulenger), las seis especies de Eleutherodactylus conocidas hasta ahora de los páramos de
