Barrio-Amorós, Cesar L. & Ortíz, Juan C., 2016, Venezuelan geckos (Gekkonidae, Phyllodactylidae, Sphaerodactylidae) in the collection of the Universidad de Concepción in Chile, with description of the type series of Gonatodes ligiae and Gonatodes petersi (Sphaerodactylidae), Zootaxa 4136 (3), pp. 537-552 : 540

Gonatodes ceciliae Donoso-Barros, 1966 .

( Fig. 2 B)

The description of G. ceciliae is quite complete ( Donoso-Barros 1966), and we consider it unnecessary to redescribe it. However, the original catalogue numbers have changed, and the holotype is no longer 64301 (Donoso-Barros field number) but MZUC 8575. The allotype is no longer 6311083 and is now MZUC 8577.

Specimens. Table 1 shows the old and new numbers of the type series.

Moreover, there is mention in the catalogue of more paratypes not appearing in the publication, as 646083 (juvenile) that now is MZUC 12025 and 64305= MZUC 12024.

Remarks. Rivas-Fuenmayor et al. (2006) present data on natural history of this species.
