Hemiphractus helioi Sheil and Mendelson, 2001

English Names
Cusco Triangular-headed Frog (Villacampa-Ortega, Serrano-Rojas, and Whitworth, 2017, Amph. Manu Learning Cent.: 122).
Distribution
Upper Amazon Basin and lower Amazonian slopes of the Andes from Ecuador to southern Peru and into adjacent Brazil (Acre).
Comment
Confused previously with Hemiphractus johnsoni according to the original publication. J. Köhler suggests (in litt.) that the record for northern Bolivia by Sheil and Mendelson, 2001, Herpetologica, 57: 190, is erroneous. Bernarde, Miranda, Albuquerque, and Turci, 2010, Check List, 6: 491-492, provided a record for Brazil and discussed the range. See brief account for the Manu region, Peru, by Villacampa-Ortega, Serrano-Rojas, and Whitworth, 2017, Amph. Manu Learning Cent.: 122–123. Records from Colombia appear to apply to Hemiphractus johnsoni.
