Vitreorana helenae (Ayarzagüena 1992)

Holotype: MHNLS 9431 .

Type locality: “Quebrada Jaspe, San Ignacio de Yuruaní, Edo. Bolívar. Venezuela.”

Distribution: Region 5. Venezuela and Guyana. In Venezuela the species is known from several localities in the Gran Sabana Region.

Remarks: Señaris (1997) reported Cochranella oyampiensis from Salto Karuay, a locality in the Gran Sabana Region, Bolívar State. Kok and Castroviejo-Fisher (2008) demonstrated that those specimens correspond to Vitreorana helenae . Purported differences between both taxa listed by Señaris and Ayarzagüena (2005) were interpreted as intraspecific variation.
