Abstract: We report new locality records for Rhinella kumanday Caicedo-Martínez et al., 2024, a recently described toad species known only from the department of Caldas in the Cordillera Central of Colombia. Based on fieldwork and a review of museum specimens, we document this species’ presence at two localities in the department of Quindío, extending the species’ known distribution approximately 75–80 km south of its type locality. Specimens were found in Andean secondary forests at elevations of 2440–2460 m.
