Remarks: Allobates femoralis was reported for Venezuela by Duellman (1997) based on one specimen (KU 167335), which was confused with Ameerega picta (see explanation in Barrio-Amorós 2004 and Barrio-Amorós and Santos 2009). Nevertheless, its presence in the country was shown by Barrio-Amorós and Santos (2009) using two different recorded calls; voucher specimens from Venezuela are still lacking.
