Hyalinobatrachium mesai Barrio-Amorós and Brewer-Carías, 2008 *

Holotype: EBRG 4644.

Type locality: Southern slope of Sarisariñama-tepui, Bolívar State, Venezuela (4°25’N, 64°7’W), elevation 420 m.

Distribution: Region 5. Only known from the type locality.

Remarks: Guayasamin and North (2009) believe that due to the similarity with Hyalinobatrachium iaspidiense, H. mesai is likely a synonym. However, CBA field notes clearly note green bones as the main distinguishing character (Barrio-Amorós and Brewer-Carías 2008).

Selected references: Barrio-Amorós and Brewer-Carías (2008); Guayasamín and North (2009); Castroviejo-Fisher et al. (2011).
