English Names

Chestnut Frog (Rana castanea [no longer recognized]: Shaw, 1802, Gen. Zool., 3(1): 114).

Gold-striped Frog (Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient. Common Names Amph. Rept. World: 82).

Painted Antnest Frog (Kok and Kalamandeen, 2008, Intr. Taxon. Amph. Kaieteur Natl. Park, 5: 216).

Distribution

Eastern Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Brazil through southern Venezuela to the Guianas; possibly Trinidad (see comment).

Comment

Confused in much literature with Eleutherodactylus lineatus (Brocchi, 1879). Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 258-259, provided a photo and brief account for French Guiana. Distribution in Venezuela discussed briefly by Señaris, La Marca, and Molina, 2002, Herpetol. Rev., 33: 145-146. Barrio-Amorós, 1999 "1998", Acta Biol. Venezuelica, 18: 47-48, suggested that the species will be found in the Venezuelan states of Monagas and Sucre. Murphy, 1997, Amph. Rept. Trinidad Tobago: 90, reported a single specimen from Trinidad, collected in 1919, but could not substantiate it with more recent specimens. Kok and Kalamandeen, 2008, Intr. Taxon. Amph. Kaieteur Natl. Park, 5: 216-217, provided an account. See account for Surinam population by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 240-241.
