The Guajira stubfoot toad〔 or Carrikeri harlequin frog, ''Atelopus carrikeri'', is a species of toad in the Bufonidae family. It is about 5 cm (2.0 in) long and typically black, though some populations have orange coloration.〔 This species is endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range of northern Colombia.〔〔 It is critically endangered because of the chytrid fungus, ''Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis'', and habitat destruction due to agriculture. The species had not been seen from 1994 until it was rediscovered in early 2008.〔 ==Taxonomy== This species was initially described by Alexander G. Ruthven in 1916 from specimens collected by M. A. Carriker, Jr., in 1914. In 1994, a new species, ''Atelopus leoperezii'', was described, only to later be determined to be the Guajira stubfoot toad.〔 Its closest relative was believed to be now-extinct ''Atelopus ignescens'' of Ecuador.〔
