Teratohyla amelie (Cisneros-Heredia and Meza-Ramos, 2007)
Cochranella amelie Cisneros-Heredia and Meza-Ramos, 2007, Zootaxa, 1485: 34. Holotype: DHMECN 3066, by original designation. Type locality: "Comunidad de Oglán, Cantón Arajuno, Provincia de Pastaza, República del Ecuador (01°18′65″ S, 77°42′41″ W, 600 m elevation)".
Teratohyla amelie — Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Trueb, Ayarzagüena, Rada, and Vilà, 2009, Zootaxa, 2100: 37.
English Names
Amelie's Glassfrog (Guayasamin, Cisneros-Heredia, McDiarmid, Peña, and Hutter, 2020, Diversity, 12 (222): 229).
Distribution
East-Andean foothills (349–1037 m elevation) from central Ecuador (Pastaza Province) to central Peru, roughly between 1° and 7° south latitude, and with an isolated record in southern Peru (near Puerto Maldonado, Tambopata Province).
Geographic Occurrence
Natural Resident: Ecuador, Peru
Comment
Noted in the original publication to be assigned to Cochranella solely on the basis of plesiomorphies and that further elucidation of the phylogeny of Cochranella will presumably result in recognition of groups that are phyletically closer to Hyalinobatrachium and Centrolene than to some Cochranella. Twomey, Delia, and Castroviejo-Fisher, 2014, Zootaxa, 3851: 53–54, provided new data and distribution and life history information. Guayasamin, Cisneros-Heredia, McDiarmid, Peña, and Hutter, 2020, Diversity, 12 (222): 229–232, provided a detailed account, including adult morphology, advertisement call, relationships, natural history, and conservation status.
