Abstract: We describe a new species of Bolitoglossa from Cerro Chucantí, Cordillera de Majé, Provincia
de Darién, Panama. A phylogenetic analysis based on molecular data provides evidence for the assignment
of the new taxon to the Bolitoglossa adspersa species group. The new species differs in color pattern and
morphometrics from all other congeners found in eastern Panama. Additionally, we include comments on
the other species of salamanders known to occur in the region
