Appearance
"Bolitoglossa pandi" was described based on a single specimen, the holotype, which is an adult female that measured 50.4 mm in snout–vent length. Individuals from a population in Supatá measured 15–53 mm SVL; females were significantly larger than males. Acosta-Galvis and Gutiérrez-Lamus give size range 44.7–50.4 mm SVL for mature females.Status
The species' natural habitats are moist montane forests at elevations of 1,300–2,200 m above sea level. Salamanders from a population in Supatá were observed foraging on shrubs and perched on leaves at night. During the day, they were found hiding in the leaf litter and in the axils of bromeliads. Adults we perched on taller plants than juveniles. Their diet consisted of arthropods, in particular mites, beetles, and ants."Bolitoglossa pandi" is an uncommon species that is threatened by habitat loss and degradation caused by agriculture. The habitat is severely fragmented. The Supatá population lives in a small protected area.
