Colostethus aff. fraterdanieli : Figure 4C

Material examined. Table 1.

A moderate-sized dendrobatid with dorsal skin texture granular posteriorly; pale dorsolateral stripe absent; pale oblique lateral stripe complete (extending from groin to eye); pale ventrolateral stripe present; coloration pattern of throat spotted in males, immaculate in females ( Tolosa et al. 2014). Colostethus aff. fraterdanieli differs from C. fraterdanieli in having a pale ventrolateral stripe (absent in C. fraterdanieli ) and a continuous dark band running along the lateral surfaces of body and head (discontinu- ous in C. fraterdanieli ). It may be distinguished from C. inguinalis by having a complete oblique lateral stripe (partial in C. inguinalis ) and from C. pratti by lacking pale dorsolateral stripe (present in C. pratti ).

Diasporus anthrax — Hedges et al. 2008: 47.

Material examined. Table 1.

Small frog with skin of dorsum smooth; tympanum round and prominent; snout subacuminate in dorsal view, rounded in lateral view; all fingers and toes with expanded disks; pads triangular on toes III –IV; dorsum brown with darker blotches and venter dark brown with whitish flecks. Diasporus anthrax differs from other species of the genus by its coloration which consist in a dark venter with white flecks and pale blotches (red in life) on the concealed surfaces of the limb (orange above, venter immaculate, and lacking distinctive coloration marks on limbs in D. gularis ; brown above, venter white with brown marbling, and lacking distinctive coloration marks on limbs in D. tinker ) and the rounded disk pads and disk covers except for finger III and toes III –IV in contrast with all fingers bearing narrow disks and disk cover of finger III bearing elongate papilla in D. tinker ; unornamented disk covers and knobbed disk cover occur in about equal frequency in D. gularis ( Lynch 2001) .
