Hyalinobatrachium tatayoi Castroviejo-Fisher, Ayarzagüena and Vilà, 2007

Holotype: MHNLS 17174.

Type locality: “ Stream near Tokuko (09°50’30.6”N, 72°49’13.6”W; 301 m asl.), Estado Zulia, Venezuela.”

Distribution: Regions 1, 6. Known from four localities in lowlands and uplands of the eastern versant of Sierra de Perijá, Zulia State (Rojas-Runjaic et al. 2012). CBA and Erik Arrieta also collected this species at Río Frío (CVULA 8201–09) at 40 m, in a small stream flowing from Cordillera de Mérida through the lowlands facing Lake Maracaibo, Mérida State. Elevation range 40–512 m asl.

Remarks: Castroviejo-Fisher et al. (2009) showed that Hyalinobatrachium tatayoi is embedded in a clade of specimens of H. fleischmanni and these two species could be conspecific. If H. fleischmanni is a species complex it requires further taxonomic and nomenclatural revision.
