Atelopus sp. 1

Distribution: Endemic to Macizo de Guaramacal, between Trujillo and Portuguesa states, Venezuelan Andes.

Remarks: Though this new Atelopus was discovered in December 1987, it has not been described yet (García-Pérez and La Marca 2015). Its population status has been mentioned several times (García-Pérez 1997, 2005; García-Pérez and La Marca 2015). It appears as Atelopus sp. 2 in Rueda-Almonacid et al. (2005). The proper description of this species is imperative.
