Boana pugnax (Schmidt 1857)

Holotype: KM 1009.

Type locality: “ Chiriquí, Flusse unneit Bocca (sic!) del Toro.” Köhler (2011) is wrong stating the type locality as “ Neugranada.”

Distribution: Regions 1, 3, 6. Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela. In Venezuela, widely distributed in open lowlands of Maracaibo Lake Basin and Los Llanos Region (Escalona et al. 2017).

Remarks: In Boana faber species group (Faivovich et al. 2005). Many specimens in the Venezuelan collections erroneously identified as Hyla or Hypsiboas crepitans (FRR and CBA, personal observation: now Boana xerophylla); Escalona et al. (2017) distinguished among B. pugnax and B. xerophylla in four Venezuelan museums, expanding the previous known localities.
