Comment
In the Scinax ruber clade of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 96. Barrio-Amorós and Fuentes-Ramos, 2003, Herpetol. Rev., 34: 163, provided the Venezuela records. Barrio-Amorós and Chacón-Ortiz, 2004, Herpetol. Rev., 35: 184, provided the Barinas state, Venezuela, record. Lynch, 2006, Caldasia, 28: 142, provided a life-history note. Pombal, Bilate, Gambale, Signorelli, and Bastos, 2011, Herpetologica, 67: 288–299, reported on vocalization. Lynch and Suárez-Mayorga, 2011, Caldasia, 33: 235–270, illustrated the tadpole and included the species in a key to the tadpoles of Amazonian Colombia. Guarnizo, Paz, Muñoz-Ortiz, Flechas-Hernández, Méndez-Narváez, and Crawford, 2016, PLoS One, 10(5: e0127312): 1–20, suggested on the basis of molecular evidence that two species likely exist under this binomial. See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 87, for comments on range 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.
