Boana ornatissima (Noble 1923)

Holotype: AMNH 13491 .

Type locality: “Meamu, Mazaruni River, Guyana.”

Distribution: Region 5. Known in Venezuela from two localities; one in the Gran Sabana (salto Karuay), and another from middle Amazonas State. A picture was shown to CBA of a B. ornatissima from Surumoni, near La Esmeralda (Amazonas State), taken by the Austrian Surumoni team from University of Vienna in 1998. This locality fills the gap between the Gran Sabana locality and that from Guainía, eastern Colombia ( Lynch and Vargas-Ramírez 2000).
