Scinax fuscomarginatus (Lutz 1925)

Lectotype: AL-MN 845 designated by Cardoso and Pombal (2010).

Type locality: “ Sao Paulo et Bello Horizonte ,” Brazil; restricted to Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Distribution: Region 5. Wide distribution area, from southern Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay to Venezuela, Guyana, and Suriname. In Venezuela, several localities in Bolívar State, from lowlands north of Sierra de Lema to uplands in the Gran Sabana.

Remarks: In Scinax ruber clade, but not assigned to any species group ( Faivovich et al. 2005). Scinax trilineatus Hoogmoed and Gorzula, 1979 was synonymized with S. fuscomarginatus without explanation by Martins (1998). Barrio-Amorós (2004, 2009) doubted the synonymy. More recently, Brusquetti et al. (2014) comprehensively reviewed Scinax fuscomarginatus throughout all its distribution, formally synonymizing S. trilineatus with S. fuscomarginatus .

Selected references: Literature refers to S. trilineatus in Venezuela. Hoogmoed and Gorzula (1979); Duellman (1986); Duellman and Wiens (1992); Gorzula and Señaris (1998); Martins (1998); Barrio-Amorós et al. (2004); Cardoso and Pombal (2010); Brusquetti et al. (2014); Señaris et al. (2014).
