ResumoThe monophyletic genus Pseudopaludicola (synapomorphy: hypertrophied antebrachial tubercle) occurs widely in northern South America where it is represented by the monophyletic Pseudopaludicola pusilla group (synapomorphy: T-shaped terminal phalanges on toes). The P. pusilla group consists of four species: P. boliviana Parker, distributed in an Amazonian arc from Surinam to Colombia to Bolivia and Paraguay; P. ceratophyes Rivero and Serna, known only from Leticia, Colombia; P. pusilla (Ruthven), distributed in northern Colombia (and south into the valley of the Rio Magdalena) and northwestern Venezuela (trans-Andean); and a new species, described from the llanos of northeastern Colombia and adjacent Venezuela.
