Niceforonia columbiana is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae, sometimes known as the Colombian Andes frog. It is endemic to Colombia.[1] [2] It is only known from the holotype, which is now lost. The type locality, "Monte Redondo, Buenavista" on the Cordillera Oriental, is in either Cundinamarca or Meta Department,[1] [2] and is considered questionable by some.[3] It might be a synonym of Leptodactylus hylaedactylus (=Adenomera hylaedactyla).
The type locality is at 1000m-1300mm (3,000feet-4,300feetm) asl,[1] probably a cloud forest. This contrasts with the higher-altitude paramo habitats of the other two Niceforonia species.[3] There is habitat loss in the area.
