Hyloscirtus jahni ( Rivero 1961) View in CoL *

Holotype: UMMZ 46465 View Materials .

Type locality: El Escorial, Mérida State, Venezuela .

Distribution: Endemic of cloud forest of Cordillera de Mérida (Andes), Mérida State .

Remarks: Formerly in Hyloscirtus bogotensis species group ( Faivovich et al. 2005). Recently, Rojas-Runjaic et al. (2018) recovered this species in his molecular phylogeny as sister to all other Hyloscirtus . To promote taxonomic stability and maintain taxonomy based on monophyletic groups, they excluded H. jahni from the H. bogotensis species group and created the monospecific H. jahni species group, which is morphologically defined by the presence of dermal spicules in adult males, and by the high number of tooth rows in the larval oral disc.
