In order to document the current state of knowledge and geographical distribution of Imantodes inornatus, a review of specimens deposited in the Scientific Collection of Zoological Reference of Chocó-Herpetología (UTCH: COLZOOCH-H) and the Herpetological Collection of the Industrial University of Santander (UIS-R), as well as a meticulous search of records of the species published to date. We present here three new locations and an update of the geographic and altitudinal distribution of the species in Colombia, while two new habitats are now occupied by I. inornatus and some aspects of its conservation status are commented.
