Scinax baumgardneri (Rivero 1961) *

Holotype: MCZ 28563.

Type locality: “ Casa de Julián, entre Tapara y Caño Chana, 609 m, Estado Amazonas, Venezuela ” .

Distribution: Region 4. Known from type locality and two other localities (La Culebra and Puerto Ayacucho) in Venezuelan Amazonia.

Remarks: In the Scinax ruber clade, but not assigned to any species group (Faivovich et al. 2005). Scinax lindsayi Pyburn, 1992 from Vaupes River between Brazil and Colombia seems similar to S. baumgardneri, and could be a synonym. Fresh material of both and direct comparison with types could corroborate this supposition.
