Pristimantis grandoculis (Van Lidth de Jeude, 1904)
Hylodes grandoculis Van Lidth de Jeude, 1904, Notes Leyden Mus., 25: 93. Holotype: RMNH 4467, according to J.D. Lynch in Frost, 1985, Amph. Species World: 291. Type locality: "the basin and the sources of the Coppename", interior of Suriname; discussed by Fouquet, Peloso, Jairam, Lima, Mônico, Ernst, and Kok, 2022, Organisms Divers. Evol., 22: 1070, and suggested that the type locality was from "the farthest point reached by the expedition and that 3.9500°N 56.7543°W are plausible coordinates for the type locality."

Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Pristimantis marmoratus by Fouquet, Peloso, Jairam, Lima, Mônico, Ernst, and Kok, 2022, Organisms Divers. Evol., 22: 1065–1098 (who reported on osteology, external morphology, and molecular markers), where it had been placed by M. S. Hoogmoed in Frost, 1985, Amph. Species World: 291. These authors also noted that the French Guiana population may be a distinct species, but refrained from naming it. Lescure, Dewynter, Frétey, Ineich, Ohler, Vidal, and De Massary, 2022, Bull. Soc. Herpetol. France, 181(5): 1–17, discussed the taxonomic disarray of this apparent species complex.
