Hyalinobatrachium guairarepanense Señaris, 1999 *

Holotype: MHNLS 13731 .

Type locality: “ Quebrada Chacaíto, Parque Nacional El Ávila, (10°30’36”N, 66°51’44”W), 980 m, Distrito Federal , Venezuela.”

Distribution: Region 2. Known only from the central sector of Cordillera Litoral, in Cordillera de la Costa, 720– 1,200 m asl.

Remarks: Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni was listed as occurring in northern Venezuela in error ( Rivero 1961). Most records were misidentifications of H. fragile and H. guairarepanense . The image presented here (Image 41) is of an individual from near the type locality (but at around 1,200 m; J. Vieira, pers. comm.), where it had not been seen since its original description. Considered Endangered under Venezuelan Red Book criteria (Señaris et al. 2015a). Here the ending of the original species name guairarepanensis is emended as guairarepanense , as Hyalinobatrachium is a neuter genus (Ruiz-Carranza and Lynch 1991), following the Code’s article 30.1.2. ( ICZN 1999).
