Niceforonia nana is a species of frog in the Craugastoridae family.[2][3] It is endemic to the Cordillera Oriental, Colombia, and found at 3,000–3,850 m (9,840–12,630 ft) asl.[3]
This rare frog inhabits páramo grassland and montane forest, as well as secondary forest. It is potentially threatened by habitat loss.[1] It can grow to 21 mm (0.83 in) in snout–vent length.[4]
