Agalychnis medinae ( Funkhouser 1962) *

Holotype: EBRG 37 .

Type locality: “The biological station ‘Henri Pittier’,” Estado Aragua, Venezuela.

Distribution: Region 2. Endemic to Venezuela. Known only from four localities (Rancho Grande in Aragua, near Bejuma in Carabobo, Cerro Zapatero, and Sierra de Aroa in Yaracuy) in the Coastal Range of Venezuela, but apparently extinct from type locality.

Remarks: Named medinae (as in original description) but later emended to medinai (since described after a masculine patronym, and thereafter ended in -i). However, article 31.1.1 of the Code admit a genitive ending in -ae even for masculine names if they end in -a (as Medina). Considered as Endangered by the current Venezuelan Red Book (Rojas-Runjaic and Señaris 2015 f). See distribution map in Rojas-Runjaic et al. (2014).
