Abstract
Three additional species of Eleutherodactylus are described from the Andean forests of the northern Cordillera Oriental. One belongs to the E. conspicillatus species group and appears to be related to the widespread E. wiligrum. Another resembles E. tubernasus in appearance but is related to other frogs found in the Central and Occidental cordilleras. The E. tubernasus species group is re-evaluated, reducing the four once-recognized species to two, which are not closely related. The third new species seems to have a connection to E. ga110110/us (Andean forests of eastern Ecuador) and E. viridis (northern part of the Cordillera Occidental).
