Pristimantis melanoproctus ( Rivero 1984) View in CoL

Holotype: UPR-M 4407.

Type locality: From km 15 Delicias a Rubio, elevation 1,800 m, Táchira State, Venezuela.

Distribution: Region 1. Venezuela and Colombia. In Venezuela, known only from Andean cloud forests in Táchira State.

Remarks: Not easily differentiated from Pristimantis mondolfii , and original author was unable to discriminate between them unequivocally. Acevedo et al. (2014) provided new insights to differentiate them. Not assigned to any species group by Hedges et al. (2008) or Padial et al. (2014). By its close resemblance to Tachiramantis lentiginosus , might be a member of genus Tachiramantis ( Heinicke et al. 2015) .

Selected references: Rivero (1982c); Acevedo et al. (2014).
