Our findings confirm the view of C. latinasus as an endemic species restricted to the highlands of this mountain range, i.e., 1350&ndash;1475 m.a.s.l., considered to be type locality of this species. We described the advertise- ment call of C. latinasus that consists of a series of 4&ndash;18 single, short and relatively loud &ldquo;peep&rdquo;-like notes given in rapid succession, and its spectral and temporal features were compared with calls of congeneric species. For the first time, DNA sequences from C. latinasus were obtained, since previously reported sequences were based on misidentified specimens. This is particularly important because C. latinasus is the type species of Colostethus, a genus considered paraphyletic ac- cording to recent phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data.</p>
