Etymology and habitat

The species name "susaguae" is taken from the Susaguá River in which hydrographic basin the frog has been found. Susaguá is Chibcha, the language spoken by the Muisca who inhabited the area where the toad has been found; the Reserve Forest of Zipaquirá and Cogua, Colombia. It has an altitudinal range of 2,530 metres (8,300 ft) to 2,900 metres (9,500 ft) above sea level, and it might occur more widely than is currently known.[1]
