    There are three varieties of toads found in the Andres Mountains, which are located in South America. The scientific name for the Andean mountain toad is Andinophryne, and the three varieties of toads are called Andinophryne atelopoides, Andinophryne colomai and Andinophryne olallai. The Andinophryne atelopoides (Western Andes toad) belongs to the Bufo atelopoides family, and was possibly an original member of the Bufo margaritifier group. It is a resident of the Quebrada Sopladero, Parque Nacional Natural de Munchique, which is located on the road the extends from Uribe to La Gallera, a 54-kilometre road on the western slope of the Cordillera Occidental, which is located in the Departamento del Cauca in Colombia, at a height of 2, 190 metres. The Andinophryne colomai (Carchi Andes toad) is a resident of the Cabacera del Rio Baboso, which is located cerca a Lita, which is located in the Carchi province (Provincia Carchi) in Ecuador. Andinophryne olallai (Tandayapa Andes toad) is a resident of Tandayapa, which is located in the Pichincha province (Provincia Pichincha) in Ecuador, and also lives in the Reserva Natural Rio Nambi (Municipio de Barbacoas, Narino, Colombia).
