“ Cochranella ” sp.

Distribution: Temiche, base of Mount Marahuaka, Amazonas state.

Remarks: Rivero (1961) reported a “ Cochranella sp. ” from Temiche, at the base of Mount Marahuaka, a tepui in Amazonas state, Venezuela. Goin (1968) mentions it could be Hyalinobatrachium taylori , but its poor condition prevents identification. It also could be “ C.” duidaeana , known from a higher altitude (2,140 m) in the same general area, or any other kind of glassfrog (or a Hylid, as Rivero proved to confuse his Centrolenella pulidoi also from Duida with Boana benitezi ― Faivovich et al. 2005; this work). As this area has been not well studied, more attention must be paid for new species. Unfortunately, old specimens of glassfrogs lose their characteristics quickly if not properly preserved, such as the specimen MCZ 28569.
