Hyloscirtus tigrinus was described based on four specimens collected at Reserva Natural Castelví (ca. 3000 m above sea level), department of Nariño, southwestern Colombia (Mueses-Cisneros and Anganoy-Criollo 2008). The original description pointed out that despite almost two years of field work in the area, H. tigrinus was recorded only at the type locality; however while carrying out field work at Laguna de La Magdalena, Puracé Natural National Park, department of Cauca, the senior author collected an additional specimen of H. tigrinus (Figure 1), extending the geographic and altitudinal range of the species.
