Comment
See discussion by Duellman and Hoogmoed, 1992, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 147: 1-21. Duellman, 1997, Sci. Pap. Nat. Hist. Mus. Univ. Kansas, 2: 22, commented on a population in southeastern Venezuela. See Kok and Kalamandeen, 2008, Intr. Taxon. Amph. Kaieteur Natl. Park: 204-205, and Cole, Townsend, Reynolds, MacCulloch, and Lathrop, 2013, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 125: 418, for brief accounts, as Tepuihyla talbergae, and records for Guyana. See comments on distribution for Tepuihyla galani by Gorzula and Señaris, 1999 "1998", Scient. Guaianae, 8: 50. Gorzula and Señaris, 1999 "1998", Scient. Guaianae, 8: : 51, suggested that Tepuihyla edelcae is the nearest relative of Tepuihyla rimarum. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status of Tepuihyla rimarum in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 279.: 51, suggested that Tepuihyla edelcae is the nearest relative of Tepuihyla rimarum. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status of Tepuihyla rimarum in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 279.: 51, suggested that Tepuihyla edelcae is the nearest relative of Tepuihyla rimarum. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status of Tepuihyla rimarum in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 279. Salerno, Señaris, Rojas-Runjaic, and Cannatella, 2015, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 82: 314–323, reported on the molecular phylogenetics of the populations of this species and suggested that the synonymy of Tepuihyla talbergae be reconsidered. See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 81, for comments on range, systematics, 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.
