We describe a new species of marsupial frog, genus    Gastrotheca   , using morphological characters and molecular data as lines of evidence. The new species was discovered in the páramo and the ecotone between páramo and humid montane forest of Cordillera de Colán, at elevations between 3136 and 3179 m a.s.l., in northeastern Peru. The new species is distinguished from all its congeners by the combination of the following characters: coarsely granular skin on dorsum, a green dorsal coloration without pattern, finger I shorter than finger II, turquoise iris, and a venter without blotches, flecks or dots. Furthermore, we include a detailed osteological description of the new    Gastrotheca    species based on Micro-CT scanning. Based on our phylogenetic analyses, the new species belongs to the    Gastrotheca   marsupiata    species group, is sister to    G.   oresbios    and closely related to    G.   psychrophila   ,    G.   spectabilis   ,    G.   stictopleura    and one undescribed species. Additionally, we test for the presence of the fungal pathogen    Batrachochytrium   dendrobatidis    (  Bd  ). No   Bd   infection was detected for    G.   gemma    sp. nov. specimens but   Bd   prevalence was detected among syntopic frogs.
