Nymphargus spilotus is a species of frog in the Centrolenidae family, formerly placed in Cochranella. It is endemic to Colombia where it occurs on the Cordillera Central in Samaná, the Caldas Department.[2] Its natural habitat is sub-Andean forest where it occurs on vegetation alongside streams. Its conservation status is unclear.[1]
