I present the formal record of the burrowing treefrog Smilisca dentata for the state of Zacatecas, Mexico, based on the finding of two adult individuals, one photographed alive and the other accidentally sacrificed during an excavation in one of the 21 burrows found in the municipality of Apulco, increasing its distribution 35 kilometers southwest of the nearest record in Potrero del Campo Santo in the municipality of Villa Hidalgo, Jalisco. This finding represents a new opportunity to conserve this endemic and endangered amphibian from Central Mexico.
