Hyalinobatrachium taylori ( Goin 1968)

Holotype: BM 1939.1.1.65 .

Type locality: “ 750 ft. (228 m) along the New River , Guyana ”

Distribution: Region 5. Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guyana. Widespread in the Venezuelan Guayanas. Elevational distribution in Venezuela from 450 m (La Laja, Sierra de Lema) to 1,850 on Auyan-tepui ( Señaris and Ayarzagüena 1994). Lower elevations are known in Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname ( Kok and Castroviejo-Fisher 2008). Amazonas state reports (Señaris and Ayarzagüena 2005) are doubtful and must be verified.

Remarks: Hyalinobatrachium taylori has a long history of misidentifications. The type series contained three different species, and many published records refer to H. cappellei ( Castroviejo-Fisher et al. 2011) .
