Comment
See Osteocephalus cabrerai account Rodríguez and Duellman, 1994, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 22: 39–40, provided a brief account for the Iquitos region of northeastern Peru as Osteocephalus buckleyi. Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 180-181, provided a photo and brief account for French Guiana. See comments regarding distribution of Venezuelan population by Gorzula and Señaris, 1999 "1998", Scient. Guaianae, 8: 37-38. It is not clear what the effect on the stated range is with the exclusion of Osteocephalus carri from synonymy (DRF). Kok and Kalamandeen, 2008, Intr. Taxon. Amph. Kaieteur Natl. Park: 180-181, provided an account and noted that the taxon represents a complex of species. Ron, Toral, Venegas, and Barnes, 2010, ZooKeys, 70: 67-92, provided a mtDNA tree which had samples of Osteocephalus buckleyi both within and without nominal Osteocephalus verruciger, suggesting either introgressive hybridization or cryptic species. See account for Surinam population by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 160-161. See Cole, Townsend, Reynolds, MacCulloch, and Lathrop, 2013, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 125: 409-410, for brief account and records for Guyana. In the Osteocephalus buckleyi species group of Jungfer, Faivovich, Padial, Castroviejo-Fisher, Lyra, Berneck, Iglesias, Kok, MacCulloch, Rodrigues, Verdade, Torres-Gastello, Chaparro, Valdujo, Reichle, Moravec, Gvoždík, Gagliardi-Urrutia, Ernst, De la Riva, Means, Lima, Señaris, Wheeler, and Haddad, 2013, Zool. Scripta, 42: 351-380.
