Comment

Rojas-Runjaic, Infante-Rivero, and Cabello, 2012, Check List, 8: 819-825, noted that previous records from Cerro Las Antenas are misidentified Hyalinobatrachium pallidumMijares-Urrutia, 1998, Rev. Biol. Tropical, 46: 119–143, characterized (As Centrolenella fleischmanni) the larval morphology as part of a key to the tadpoles of the high elevation frogs in Venezuela. Rada and Guayasamin, 2008, Pap. Avulsos Zool., São Paulo, 48: 99-100, summarized the range in Colombia (as Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni). Acosta-Galvis, 2012, Check List, 8: 794-795, provided a record (as Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni) for Caribbean Colombia and commented on the range. Sunyer, Martínez-Fonseca, Salazar-Saavedra, Galindo-Uribe, and Obando, 2014, Mesoam. Herpetol., 1: 166, provided records (as Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni) for the departments of Chontales and Jinotega, Nicaragua. Cruz, Urgilés, Sánchez-Nivicela, Siddons, and Cisneros-Heredia, 2017, Check List, 13(4): 67–70, provided records (as Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni) for western Ecuador.  See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 28, for comments on range, taxonomy, and literature. Ovalle-Pacheco, Camacho-Rozo, and Arroyo, 2019, Check List, 15: 392, commented on the range in Colombia (as Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni). See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 24–25, for comments on range, taxonomy, and literature. Guayasamin, Cisneros-Heredia, McDiarmid, Peña, and Hutter, 2020, Diversity, 12 (222): 123–126, provided a detailed account primarily focused on Ecuador, including adult and larval morphology, advertisement call, relationships, natural history, and conservation status. Mendoza-Henao, Arias, Townsend, and Parra-Olea, 2020, Syst. Biodiversity, 18: 464–484, transferred the records of Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni from lowland Costa Rica to and South America to this species on the basis of DNA, calls, and morphology. Armijos-Ojeda, Székely, Székely, Cogǎlniceanu, Cisneros-Heredia, Ordóñez-Delgado, Escudero, and Espinosa, 2021, ZooKeys, 1063: 37, provided a dot map for western Ecuador. Barona-Cortés and Mendoza-Henao, 2022, Catal. Anf. Rept. Colombia, Medellín, 8: 43–54, provided a detailed review, with a focus on the Colombian segment of the range, of the morphology, natural history, range in Colombia, advertisement call, reproduction, and conservation status. Rojas-Montoya, López-Aguirre, González-Acosta, and Vargas-Salinas, 2024, Rev. Latinoam. Herpetol., 7: 60–82, reported on the various calls (advertisement call, courtship call, distress call, and agonistic call).
