Allobates caribe ( Barrio-Amorós, Rivas and Kaiser 2006) *

Holotype: MHNLS 17462 .

Type locality: “Southern slope of Cerro El Humo, Península de Paria, Estado Sucre, Venezuela (10°41’094”N, 62°37’147”W), elevation 1,050 m.”

Distribution: Region 2. Only known from type locality.

Remarks: Described as Colostethus caribe , it was transferred to Allobates by Lötters et al. (2007: 55) a shift agreeable to the current authors, but later (mistakenly) transferred to Anomaloglossus (Lötters et al. 2007: 60) without explanation. Frost (2018) used Allobates for this species by implication. Several recent attempts to secure more specimens in the same general area failed (G. Rivas, pers. comm.).
