In this study, Males SVL = 22.4–26.5 mm, and females SVL = 25.8–29.7 mm. The dorsum is black with 2 dor- solateral lines that can vary from yellow, golden yellow, greenish yellow to almost blue; belly is black with irreg- ular blue spots; smooth skin, except on the legs ( Suárez and Alzate Basto 2014). A total of 34 individuals were found and were observed between 250 and 1000 m (Sta- tions 3, 4 and 5). They are commonly seen on the forest floor and the leaf litter. It is endemic to Colombia, between 100 and 1800 m, principally along the Magda- lena river valley ( Acosta-Galvis et al. 2006), from Chap- arral to the Colombian Caribbean, and the lowlands on the northern edge of the Cordillera Central and Cordillera Occidental, up to the Urabá gulf.
