HYALINOBATRACHINAE
Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Trueb, Ayarzagüena, Rada & Vilà 2009, 39
(1 genus, 3 species, 1 endemic species)
Hyalinobatrachium
Ruíz-Carranza & Lynch 1991
, 23 (3 species, 1 endemic species)
Hyalinobatrachium chirripoi
(Taylor 1958, 59)
Hyalinobatrachium crybetes
(E) (McCranie & Wilson 1997, 13).
Cisneros-Heredia & McDiarmid (2007)
synonymized this species with
H. colymbiphyllum
(Taylor 1949 [262]), but without examining specimens of
H. crybetes
.
Cisneros-Heredia & McDiarmid (2007)
based their decision on the fact that two important diagnostic characters used by McCranie & Wilson are known to occur separately in some populations of the closely related
H. fleischmanni
. However,
Cisneros-Heredia & McDiarmid (2007)
did not mention that both of those characters have apparently not been previously reported in the same specimens and that they occur sympatrically with
H. fleischmanni
. Tissues are needed from
H. crybetes
for molecular studies. Unfortunately, two attempts (
August 1997
,
July 2010
) to collect new specimens were aborted because of heavy late afternoon rainfalls that made crossing the river in the vicinity of the
type
locality too dangerous. I continue to recognize
H. crybetes
as a distinct species until tissues can be studied. In addition, genetic and call data of
H. cardiacalyptum
McCranie & Wilson
(1997 [p. 11]), which was synonymized with
H. chirripoi
by
Cisneros-Heredia & McDiarmid (2007)
, are available for comparison with
H. chirripoi
should those data become available from Costa Rican populations of that species.
Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni
