Family Craugastoridae Hedges, Duellman & Heinicke, 2008 View in CoL
Pristimantis marmoratus (Boulenger, 1900) is currently distributed in the western portion of the Guiana Shield, through Venezuela and Guyana, and its sister clade has a more eastern distribution, occurring in French Guiana and Amapá ( Kok et al. 2018). Fouquet et al. (2022b) recently described this clade as Pristimantis crepitaculus Fouquet, Peloso, Jairam , Lima, Mônico, Ernst & Kok, 2022. We considered four out of our five records of P. marmoratus ( Lima 2008; 2018; Queiroz et al. 2011; Benício & Lima 2017) as P. crepitaculus . Pristimantis ockendeni (Boulenger 1912) was once thought to occur all over the upper Amazon basin, from southern Peru to Colombia, but it is currently thought to be a species complex with the nominal P. ockendeni currently known only from the type locality, in Peru ( Elmer et al. 2007; Elmer & Canatella 2008). Silva e Silva & Costa-Campos (2018) recorded a species with overall morphology similar to P. ockendeni which they identified as P. cf. ockendeni , but they also recorded P. marmoratus . Besides P. crepitaculus, Fouquet et al. (2022b) also mention P. grandoculis from the state of Amapá, a species they revalidated in their study. The main morphological difference between these two species is the tympanum, which is present in the first species and absent in the latter. Thus, we consider the records of Silva e Silva & Costa-Campos (2018) as P. crepitaculus (their P. cf. ockendeni ) and P. grandoculis (their P. marmoratus ).
