Comment
See Duellman and Crump, 1974, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 23: 1-40. See Schlüter and Mägdefrau, 1991, Amphibia-Reptilia, 12: 217-219, for Venezuelan record. Barrio-Amorós, 1999 "1998", Acta Biol. Venezuelica, 18: 33, commented on the range in Venezuela. In the Dendropsophus parviceps group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 93. Santiago Ron (personal commun., 17 Jan 2014) reports Ecuadorian specimens in the QCAZ. Moraes, Almeida, Fraga, Rojas-Zamora, Pirani, Silva, Carvalho, Gordo, and Werneck, 2017, ZooKeys, 715: 103–159, reported on specimens from the Serra da Mocidade, state of Roraima, northern Brazil. This species was redelimited by the exclusion of Dendropsophus kubrincki and Dendropsophus kamagarini by Rivadeneira, Venegas, and Ron, 2018, ZooKeys, 726: 25–77, who revised the Dendropsophus parviceps complex and reviewed this species but did not address the Venezuelan records.
