Comment

Cisneros-Heredia and McDiarmid, 2007, Zootaxa, 1572: 29, suggested that Hyalinobatrachium nouraguense might be a junior synonym. Yánez-Muñoz, Pérez-Peña, and Cisneros-Heredia, 2009, Herpetol. Notes, 2: 49–52, provided records from Sucumbios Province, Ecuador, and the Province of Ramon Casilla, Department of Loreto, Peru (on the Brazil border), and Mato Grosso, Brazil (based on unpublished records of L. Vitt and J. Caldwell), suggested the species to be widespread in the upper Amazon Basin, and placed Hyalinobatrachium nouraguense in synonymy. Guayasamin and North, 2009, Check List, 5: 526–529, provided a record for Napo Province, Ecuador, and suggested that this species and Hyalinobatrachium mesai will be found to be conspecific. First Brazilian record (as Hyalinobatrachium nouraguense) and comment on range provided by Cordeiro-Duarte, Sanaiotti, Duarte, and Pereira, 2002, Herpetol. Rev., 33: 220. Cisneros-Heredia and McDiarmid, 2007, Zootaxa, 1572: 29, suggested that Hyalinobatrachium nouraguense could be a synonym of Hyalinobatrachium iaspidiense. Kok and Castroviejo-Fisher, 2008, Zootaxa, 1680: 48, provided the first record (as Hyalinobatrachium nouraguense) for Suriname. Señaris and Ayarzagüena, 2005, Rev. Taxonom. Fam. Centrolenidae de Venezuela: 193–200, provided a review of the morphology, natural history, and range of this species in Venezuela. Castroviejo-Fisher, Vilà, Ayarzagüena, Blanc, and Ernst, 2011, Zootaxa, 3132: 1–55, provided an account and taxonomic discussion. See account for Suriname population by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 80–81. See Cole, Townsend, Reynolds, MacCulloch, and Lathrop, 2013, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 125: 382–383, for brief account and records for Guyana. Señaris, Lampo, Rojas-Runjaic, and Barrio-Amorós, 2014, Guía Ilust. Anf. Parque Nac. Canaima: 78–79, provided a brief account for the Parque Nacional de Canaima, Venezuela, and photograph. Silva e Silva and Costa-Campos, 2016, Check List, 12 (2: 1849): 1–3, reported on the species in Amapá, Brazil, and mapped and discussed the range. See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 25, for comments on range, taxonomy, and literature. 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. Guayasamin, Cisneros-Heredia, McDiarmid, Peña, and Hutter, 2020, Diversity, 12 (222): 126–128, provided a detailed account, including adult morphology, advertisement call, relationships, natural history, and conservation status. Taucce, Costa-Campos, Carvalho, and Michalski, 2022, Eur. J. Taxon., 836: 96–130, reported on distribution, literature, and conservation status for Amapá, Brazil. Culebras, Novales, Quezada Riera, Medina, and Plewnia, 2023, Herpetol. Notes, 16: 179–182, provided additional records for Amazonian Ecuador and Peru.
