Pristimantis nebulosus (Henle, 1992)

Class: Amphibia > Order: Anura > Superfamily: Brachycephaloidea > Family: Strabomantidae > Subfamily: Pristimantinae > Genus: Pristimantis > Species: Pristimantis nebulosus

Eleutherodactylus nebulosus Henle, 1992, Bonn. Zool. Beitr., 43: 86. Holotype: ZFMK 27634, by original designation. Type locality: "Departamento Huanuco, Cordillera Azul, Pass der Carretera Central auf 1650 m NN". Noted as "Abra La Divisoria" by Köhler, Castillo-Urbina, Aguilar-Puntriano, Vences, and Glaw, 2022, Zoosyst. Evol., Berlin, 98: 217. Junior homonym of Syrrhophus nebulosus Taylor, 1943 (= Eleutherodactylus pipilans), according to Lynch, 1996, J. Herpetol., 30: 279.

Eleutherodactylus caliginosus Lynch, 1996, J. Herpetol., 30: 279. Replacement name when in Eleutherodactylus.

Eleutherodactylus (Eleutherodactylus) caliginosus — Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 221.

Pristimantis caliginosus — Heinicke, Duellman, and Hedges, 2007, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Suppl. Inform., 104: Table 2.

Pristimantis (Pristimantis) caliginosus — Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 118.

Pristimantis (Pristimantis) nebulosus — Duellman and Lehr, 2009, Terrest.-breeding Frogs in Peru: 202.

English Names

Huanuco Robber Frog (Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient. Common Names Amph. Rept. World: 77).

Distribution

Cloudforest at the type locality in the southern Cordillera Azul, Huánuco, Peru.

Comment

In the Eleutherodactylus fitzingeri group according to the original publication. In the Eleutherodactylus (Eleutherodactylus) conspicillatus series, Eleutherodactylus conspicillatus group according to Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 221. In the subgenus Pristimantis, but unnassigned to species group by Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 118, and Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 127 (as Pristimantis caliginosus). Duellman and Lehr, 2009, Terrest.-breeding Frogs in Peru: 202, provided an account and suggested that because the holotype of Syrrhophus nebulosus is in bad condition that association with a living population is problematic. Redescribed from new material and the advertisement call described by Köhler, Castillo-Urbina, Aguilar-Puntriano, Vences, and Glaw, 2022, Zoosyst. Evol., Berlin, 98: 213–232, who placed it in the Pristimantis conspicillatus species group.
