Hyalinobatrachium ruedai is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is known from its type locality, Chiribiquete National Park in Caquetá Department of Colombia[2] (although some confusion exists whether the type locality might be in the Vaupés Department, instead[1]), as well as from Amazonian Ecuador, and is presumably to be found also in the nearby Peruvian Amazonas.[2]

H. ruedai is associated with small tepuis. It occurs in the dense understorey of old-growth forest near small streams. Eggs are laid on vegetation above water; the larvae develop in streams.[1]

H. ruedai is considered a rare species, but suitable habitat is plentiful, and no significant threats have been identified.[1]
