Abstract

We describe the advertisement call of Pristimantis zophus, a small and endemic Colombian rainfrog distributed throughout the cloud forests of the northern region of Western Andes. We analyzed 163 advertisement calls from six males. The advertisement call of P. zophus is relatively simple, short, with a duration of 0.227 ± 0.126 s (0.090–0.415), and consists of one or two notes of a single pulse and dominant frequency of 2.97 ± 0.100 (2.72–3.21 kHz). In addition, we briefly discuss aspects of the variation of the advertisement call and report some observations of the natural history of this species.
