Anomaloglossus tepuyensis (La Marca 1997) *

Holotype: ULABG 2557 .

Type locality: “ Entre Danto y Piñón (= Peñón ), a casi una hora caminando desde Danto , en el trayecto desde Kamarata hasta las laderas del Auyán-tepui, Estado Bolívar, Venezuela, 1,650 m snm.”

Distribution: Region 5. Endemic from the slopes of Auyan-tepui in Bolívar State. Probably extended to neighboring tepuis.

Remarks: Myers and Donnelly (2008) comprehensively redescribed this species. The Anomaloglossus “ tepuyensis ” cited from Guyana ( Grant et al. 2006; MacCulloch and Lathrop 2009), is actually a similar species, A. megacephalus Kok, MacCulloch, Lathrop, Billaert and Bossuyt, 2010 . This taxon could be a synonym of A. parkerae (P. Kok, pers. comm.).
