The Sonson frog, Atopophrynus syntomopus, is a species of frog in the Craugastoridae family,[2] of the monotypic genus Atopophrynus.[3] It is endemic to Colombia and only known from its type locality in the Cordillera Central, from Sonsón, Antioquia.[2]

The species is known from three specimens recorded on wet rocks very close to a stream in primary forest. It has not been seen in later surveys, and the habitat is degraded by guerrilla activities; it may already be extinct.[1]
