ABSTRACT We record the presence of Kinosternon leucostomum postinguinale (DUMÉRIL and BIBRON, 1851) populations in the department of Quindío, Central Cordillera of Colombia. Despite the turtle is found in the neighboring departments of Tolima and Valle del Cauca, this is the first evidence of its distribution on this locality. We present biological and ecological records of individuals in the lower and middle area of La Vieja basin inhabiting small tributaries and ponds between pastures. Currently it is unknown whether the species was introduced or ignored until now.
