description <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Frogs of the genus Eleutherodactylus constitute a great part of the Colombianfauna. Following Frost (1985), there are approximately 430 species of frogs and toads known from Colombia (Cochran and Gain, 1970, had reported 212 species). In the neotropical region, the genus Eleutherodactylus is dominant in humid zones. This genus has more than 400 described species (Frost, 1985) of which 94 are recorded for Colombia (following Frost). In addition, there are 14 species described by Lynch (1984), Lynch and Rniz (1985), and Rivero (1984) or recently found in Colombia (E. anatipes, E. lythrodes, and E. sulcatus)".</p><br> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: ">Se describen las especies nuevas <em>Eleutherodactylus bernali, E. diaphonus,</em></span><em><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "> E. gracilis, </span></em><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: ">y <em>E. molybrignus </em>del grupo <em>unistrigatus. </em>Se encuentran estas especies en los bosques nublados de la Cordillera Central <em>(E. bernali </em>y <em>E.</em></span><em><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "> gracilis) </span></em><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: ">y la Cordillera Occidental <em>(E. diaphonus, E. gracilis </em>y <em>E. molybrignus)</em> de Colombia.
