Hyloxalus vergeli

Hyloxalus vergeli is an elusive and poorly-known species of rocket frog distributed in a fragmented range throughout central Colombia. The species occurs between 1500 and 1800 metres above sea level, and typically inhabits montane "cloud forests" rather than tropical rainforest. H. vergeli is known to lay eggs near the edges of fast-flowing streams, which are protected by the males until they hatch.

H. vergeli is classified by the IUCN as vulnerable due to its small and fragmented range; however, official assessments consider the species "somewhat resilient to habitat disturbance" and "known to be an abundant species" ; however, no expeditions have recorded living H. vergeli since 1994.
