Aromobates alboguttatus ( Boulenger 1903) *

Holotype: BM 1947.2.13.88 .

Type locality: “ Mérida, Estado Mérida, Venezuela, a 1,600 m.”

Distribution: Region 1. Andes of Estado Mérida.

Remarks: The species appears to have vanished in the wild ( Barrio-Amorós and Santos 2012). Rivero (1982a) included Colostehus inflexus Rivero, 1978 in the synonymy of C. alboguttatus . La Marca (1997) recovered the species as Nephelobates inflexus , without explanation. Barrio-Amorós and Santos (2012) consider this species different from A. alboguttatus and valid, but awaiting proper attention and a redescription.
