Comment
Vacher, Kok, Rodrigues, Lima, Lorenzini, Martinez, Fallet, Courtois, Blanc, Gaucher, Dewynter, Jairam, Ouboter, Thébaud, and Fouquet, 2017, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 112: 158–173, discussed on the basis of molecular phylogenetics the cryptic diversity in the genus, its biogeography, and life history. They delimited an Anomaloglossus degranvillei group (Anomaloglossus surinamensis, Anomaloglossus degranvillei, and 6 unnamed species) and the Anomaloglossus stepheni group (Anomaloglossus apiau, Anomaloglossus baeobatrachus, Anomaloglossus leopardus, Anomaloglossus stepheni, and 6 unnamed species). Grant, Rada, Anganoy-Criollo, Batista, Dias, Jeckel, Machado, and Rueda-Almonacid, 2017, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 12 (Special Issue): 1–90, provided an extensive phylogenetic analysis and discussion recognizing three species groups, Anomaloglossus stepheni group (Anomaloglossus apiau, Anomaloglossus baeobatrachus, Anomaloglossus degranvillei, Anomaloglossus stepheni), Anomaloglossus megacephalus group (Anomaloglossus megacephalus, Anomaloglossus verbeeksnyderorum, Anomaloglossus wothuja), Anomaloglossus beebei group (Anomaloglossus beebei, Anomaloglossus kaiei, Anomaloglossus praderioi, Anomaloglossus roraima, Anomaloglossus rufulus), with a few species (Anomaloglossus tamacuarensis, Anomaloglossus tepuyensis) placed phylogenetically but not placed in a species group. Fouquet, Jairam, Ouboter, and Kok, 2020, Zootaxa, 4820: 147–164, discussed phylogenetics of the Anomaloglossus stepheni group, noting at least two unnamed species. Vacher, Kok, Rodrigues, Lima, Hrbek, Werneck, Manzi, Thébaud, and Fouquet, 2024, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 192 (108008): 1–9, reported on molecular phylogenetics, biogeography, and evolution of life histories.
