Hyloxalus saltuarius is a species of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia where it is only known from the Cordillera Oriental in the Caquetá Department.[2][3] This frog is terrestrial. Its natural habitats are premontane humid forests. It lives on the forest floor. It has been observed between 1200 and 2000 meters above sea level.[1]
The IUCN classifies this species as data deficient; scientists do not know whether it is in danger of dying out. A survey to its habitat in 2000 showed several individuals. The frog's known range includes two protected parks: Parque Nacional Natural Cueva de los Guácharos and Parque Nacional Natural Cordillera Los Picachos.[1]
