Bolitoglossa sp.

The taxonomic status of the Bolitoglossa Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854 populations from the lower Juruá River basin has been reviewed in a broader Amazonian context, but remains unresolved ( Brcko et al., 2013). Given the high morphological similarity among the lowland Amazonian species of Bolitoglossa and the recent indication of at least four genetically distinct lineages occurring at the Juruá River basin ( Jaramillo et al., 2020), we opt to designate a conservative taxonomic status for these specimens, only recorded in the 1992 expedition. We also cannot discard the occurrence of more than one species contained under this taxon.
