Open encyclopedia reference
Rulyrana adiazeta is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is endemic to the western slopes of the Cordillera Oriental, Colombia, in the departments of Cundinamarca, Santander, and Tolima.
Its natural habitats are pre-montane and montane forests at elevations of 1,120–2,060 m (3,670–6,760 ft) above sea level. It occurs on vegetation next to streams. It is a common species but is locally suffering from habitat loss caused by agricultural expansion.
