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. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 21, for comments on range, taxonomy, and literature. Medina-Rangel, Thompson, Ruiz-Valderrama, Fajardo Muñoz, Lombana Lugo, Londoño-Guarnizo, Moquena Carbajal, Ríos Rosero, Sánchez Pamo, and Sánchez, 2019, in Pitman et al. (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.
