The genus    Rhinella    (  Bufonidae  ) comprises 92 species of Neotropical toads. In Colombia,    Rhinella    is represented by 22 recognized species, of which nine belong to the    Rhinella   festae    group. Over the past decade, there has been increasing evidence of cryptic diversity within this group, particularly in the context of Andean forms. Specimens of    Rhinella    collected in high Andean forests on both slopes of the Central Cordillera in Colombia belong to an undescribed species,    Rhinella   kumanday    sp. nov.  Genetic analyses using the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene indicated that the individuals belong to thefestae    species group. However, they can be distinguished from other closely related species such as    Rhinella   paraguas    and    Rhinella   tenrec    by a combination of morphological traits including the presence of tarsal fold, a moderate body size, and substantial genetic divergence in the 16S rRNA gene (&gt; 5%). Through this integrative approach, the specimens from the Central Cordillera of Colombia are considered an evolutionary divergent lineage that is sister to    R.   paraguas   , and described as a new species.    Rhinella   kumanday    sp. nov.  is restricted to the Central Cordillera of Colombia inhabiting both slopes in the departments of Caldas and Tolima, in an elevational range between 2420 and 3758 m. With the recognition of this new species, the genus    Rhinella    now comprises 93 species with 23 of them found in Colombia, and ten species endemic to the country.
