Mannophryne oblitterata ( Rivero 1984) *

Holotype: UPR-M 3492.

Type locality: “ Carretera de Sta. Teresa a Higuerote, 10 km hacia abajo del cruce Santa Teresa-Altagracia, 150 m, Edo. Miranda, Venezuela.”

Remarks: The description of Colostethus guatopoensis Dixon and Rivero-Blanco, 1985 (a current synonym of M. oblitterata fide Rivero, 1988), and the redescription of La Marca (1994a) are more comprehensive than Rivero’s description.
