Pristimantis yukpa and P. rivasi are two rain frogs recently described from Sierra de Perija in Venezuela. Although these species have been expected to occur in the Colombian side of this mountain range, no evidence of their presence was available to date. Herein, I report for the first time the presence of these species for Serrania de Perija in Colombia. Updated maps of their geographical distribution are shown.
