Comment
Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 262–265, provided a photo and brief account for French Guiana. Barrio-Amorós, 1999 "1998", Acta Biol. Venezuelica, 18: 58, commented on the Venezuelan distribution. Carvalho, Bonora, and Vogt, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 349, provided the record for Parque Nacional do Pico da Neblina on the Venezuelan border. See account by MacCulloch, Lathrop, Minter, and Khan, 2008, Pap. Avulsos Zool., São Paulo, 48: 247–261. See account for Suriname population by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 286–287. See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris Vasquez, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 104, for comments on range and literature. Fouquet, Vidal, and Dewynter, 2019, Zoosystema, 41: 372, suggested that this represents a species complex. Taucce, Costa-Campos, Carvalho, and Michalski, 2022, Eur. J. Taxon., 836: 118, following Fouquet et al., 2019, discussed the status of records from French Guiana and Pará and Amapá, Brazil, referring them to Otophryne cf. robusta.
