Researchers reported the discovery of a new frog species, Niceforonia tempestuosa, in the cloud forests of Valle del Cauca, Colombia, in a study published in the journal ZooKeys. ^[1] Colombian scientists officially described a new frog species for science, named Niceforonia tempestuosa, found in the cloud forests of the Serranía de los Paraguas in Chocó and Valle del Cauca. ^[2] Niceforonia tempestuosa belongs to the Niceforonia nigrovittata group and is the sister species of Niceforonia mantipus. ^[3] The researchers identified the species through morphological analysis, molecular evidence, and natural history data from specimens found in the Serranía de los Paraguas. ^[4] The new frog species is small, with adult males measuring around 23-24.5 mm in snout-vent length, and primarily inhabits the forest floor between 2,169 and 2,294 meters above sea level. ^[5] The Serranía de los Paraguas covers 231,355 hectares, with 83% (192,025 ha) belonging to Chocó and 17% (39,792 ha) to Valle del Cauca. ^[6] Distinctive features of Niceforonia tempestuosa include dorsolateral folds, a visible tympanic membrane, a fleshy swelling on the lip of adult males, and nuptial pads. ^[7]
