Comment
Barrio-Amorós, 1999 "1998", Acta Biol. Venezuelica, 18: 58, commented on the Venezuelan distribution. Señaris, Molina, and Villarreal, 2003, Herpetol. Rev., 34: 260, provided a record for Amazonas, Venezuela. Zimmerman and Rodrigues, 1990, in Gentry (ed.), Four Neotropical Rainforests: 426-454, provided the first central Brazilan Amazonia record for this species, near Manaus. Kok and Kalamandeen, 2008, Intr. Taxon. Amph. Kaieteur Natl. Park, 5: 232-233, provided an account, reported the species from Kaieteur National Park, Guyana (although noting some differences), and questioned the identity of the Manaus, Brazil, specimens.
