Vicinity of clear fast-flowing streams from the tepuis and Gran Sabana of southern and eastern Venezuela through central Guyana to nearly throughout Suriname and French Guiana; also reported from Amapá, Mato Grosso and central Amazonas, Brazil, and southern Caquetá, Colombia (municipalities of Cartagena del Chairá and Solano). 

Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni by Castroviejo-Fisher, Vilà, Ayarzagüena, Blanc, and Ernst, 2011, Zootaxa, 3132: 16, where it had been placed by Goin, 1964, Herpetologica, 20: 1. Castroviejo-Fisher, Vilà, Ayarzagüena, Blanc, and Ernst, 2011, Zootaxa, 3132: 1–55, provided an account and suggested that Hyalinobatrachium cappellei is the sister taxon of Hyalinobatrachium iaspidense + Hylinobatrachium tricolor. Señaris and Ayarzagüena, 2005, Rev. Taxonom. Fam. Centrolenidae de Venezuela: 161–172 (as Hyalinobatrachium crurifasciatum), page 182–183 (as Hyalinobatrachium eccentricum), provided a review of the morphology, natural history, and range of this species. Rodrigues, Lima, Morais, and Kawashita-Ribeiro, 2010, Check List, 6: 392–394, provided a range extension into Brazil as well as a dot map as Hyalinobatrachium crurifasciatum. Barrio-Amorós and Castroviejo-Fisher, 2008, Salamandra, 44: 235–240, detailed the range of the species as Hyalinobatrachium ignioculus. Barrio-Amorós and Castroviejo-Fisher, 2008, Salamandra, 44: 235. Castroviejo-Fisher, Vilà, Ayarzagüena, Blanc, and Ernst, 2011, Zootaxa, 3132: 1–55, provided a detailed account. See account for Suriname population (as Hyalinobatrachium crurifasciatum) by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 78–79.Simões, Kaefer, Gomes, and Lima, 2012, Check List, 8: 636-637, provided a record for Amazonas, Brazil, and commented on the range. See Cole, Townsend, Reynolds, MacCulloch, and Lathrop, 2013, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 125: 382, for brief account and records for Guyana. Señaris, Lampo, Rojas-Runjaic, and Barrio-Amorós, 2014, Guía Ilust. Anf. Parque Nac. Canaima: 76–77, provided a brief account for the Parque Nacional de Canaima, Venezuela, and photograph. Reported from the municipalities of Cartagena del Chairá and Solano, department of Caquetá, Colombia, a 1000 km range extension west of the nearest locality in Venezuela, reported by Thompson, Medina-Rangel, and Ruiz-Valderrama, 2018, Check List, 14: 945–949. See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph.

(eds.), Bajo Caguán–Caquetá, Rapid Invent. 30: 119, reported the species from El Guamo and Bajo Aguas Negras, Caquetá Department, southern Colombia. Señaris and Rojas-Runjaic, 2020, in Rull and Carnaval (eds.), Neotrop. Divers. Patterns Process.: 571–632, commented on range and conservation status in the Venezuelan Guayana. Figueiredo, Tavares-Pinheiro, Pinheiro-Freitas, Dias-Souza, and Costa-Campos, 2020, Check List, 16: 1369–1374, reported the species from the municipality of Laranjal do Jari, states of Amapá, Brazil. Taucce, Costa-Campos, Carvalho, and Michalski, 2022, Eur.
