Cryptobatrachus remotus Infante-Rivero, Rojas-Runjaic and Barrio-Amorós, 2009 View in CoL

Holotype: MHNLS 17661 View Materials .

Type locality: “ Fundo ‘El Progreso,’ cuenca alta del río Socuy , sierra de Perijá, Municipio Jesús Enrique Losada, Estado Zulia, Venezuela (10°43’13,30”N, 72°29’16,60”O; ± 845 m).” GoogleMaps

Distribution: Region 1. Eastern versant of Sierra de Perijá, Zulia State, Venezuela; very probably in adjacent Colombia.

Remarks: While the description of this species was in press, another work dealing with Cryptobatrachus (Lynch 2008) provided the description of C. pedroruizi , a species from the Colombian side of Perijá relatively near the known distribution area of C. remotus . Comparing both sets of type material (both morphologically and genetically) is imperative to discern if they represent one or two species. Cryptobatrachus remotus is considered Endangered (EN) under criteria of the Venezuelan Red Book (Rojas-Runjaic 2015).
