The last comprehensive list (Barrio-Amorós 2009c) included a total of 333 species, while the current catalogue lists 387 species (370 anurans, 10 caecilians, and seven salamanders), including 28 species not yet described or properly identified. Fifty species and four genera are added to the previous list, 25 species are deleted, and 47 experienced nomenclatural changes. Eleutherodactylus terraebolivaris Rivero, 1961 is synonymized with Hylodes incertus Lutz, 1927 as Pristimantis incertus. Oreophrynella dendronastes Lathrop and MacCulloch, 2007, is considered a junior synonym of O. macconnelli (Boulenger 1895). Centrolene Jiménez de la Espada, 1872, is a feminine genus, so all species in the genus are amended. Centrolenella pulidoi Rivero, 1968 is considered a junior synonym of Hyla benitezi Rivero, 1961, as Boana benitezi. Centrolenella estevesi Rivero, 1968 is considered a junior synonym of Hyla jahni Rivero, 1961, as Hyloscirtus jahni. Illustrated herein are 300 species (77.5% of the total). Lastly, the distributions for all species are revised, species that possibly occur within Venezuela are suggested, and comments are provided on nomenclature and conservation issues. Keywords. Biogeography, checklist, Anura, Urodela, Gymnophiona, management Resumen.—Se presenta una lista anotada de los anfibios de Venezuela, actualizada hasta diciembre de 2018. La última lista comprensiva (Barrio-Amorós 2019c) incluyó un total de 333 especies, mientras que la lista actual contiene 387 especies (370 anuros, 10 cecilias y siete salamandras), incluyendo 28 especies aun no descritas o identificadas propiamente. 50 especies y cuatro géneros se añaden a la lista previa, 25 especies se eliminan y 47 de ellas han experimentado cambios nomenclaturales. Eleutherodactylus terraebolivaris Rivero, 1961 se sinonimiza con Hylodes incertus Lutz, 1927, como Pristimantis incertus. Oreophrynella dendronastes Lathrop and MacCulloch, 2007, se considera sinónimo de O. macconnelli (Boulenger, 1895). Centrolene Jiménez de la Espada, 1872, es un género femenino, así que se emendan todos los nombres acorde. Centrolenella pulidoi Rivero, 1968 es considerado sinónimo de Hyla benitezi Rivero, 1961, como Boana benitezi.

Received September 29, 2008. Accepted December 22, 2008 Karyotypic analyses on three species of the Leptodactylus from Brazil showed 2n24 in L.cf.marmoratus,2n23 in Leptodactylus sp. (aff. bokermanni), and 2n26 in L. hylaedactylus, with distinct numbers of bi and uni-armed chromosomes. Leptodactylus cf. marmoratus presented a variation as regard to the morphology of pair 12. All specimens of L.cf.marmoratus had Ag-NOR in pair 6, confirmed by FISH, but the sample from one of the localities presented additional Ag-NOR, in one of the chromosomes 8. In Leptodactylus sp. (aff. bokermanni) and L. hylaedactylus the chromosome pairs bearing Ag-NOR are 11 and 7, respectively. The C banding patterns are predominantly centromeric, but only in L. marmoratus this heterochromatin appeared very brilliant with DAPI. On the other hand, bright labelling was noticed with CMA3 in the three species, on the Ag-NOR site.

  • On the Uncertain Taxonomic Identity of Adenomera Hylaedactyla (Cope, 1868) and the Composite Type Series of A
    Copeia 107, No. 4, 2019, 708–723 On the Uncertain Taxonomic Identity of Adenomera hylaedactyla (Cope, 1868) and the Composite Type Series of A. andreae (Muller,¨ 1923) (Anura, Leptodactylidae) Thiago R. de Carvalho1, Ariovaldo A. Giaretta2, Natan M. Maciel3, Diego A. Barrera4,Cesar´ Aguilar-Puntriano4,5,Celio´ F. B. Haddad1, Marcelo N. C. Kokubum6, Marcelo Menin7, and Ariadne Angulo4,5 Adenomera andreae and A. hylaedactyla are two widespread Amazonian frogs that have been traditionally distinguished from each other by the use of different habitats, toe tip development, and more recently through advertisement calls. Yet, taxonomic identification of these species has always been challenging. Herein we undertake a review of type specimens and include new phenotypic (morphology and vocalization) and mitochondrial DNA information for an updated diagnosis of both species. Our morphological analysis indicates that the single type (holotype) of A. hylaedactyla could either belong to lineages associated with Amazonian forest-dwelling species (A. andreae clade) or to the open-formation morphotype (A. hylaedactyla clade). Given the holotype’s poor preservation, leading to the ambiguous assignment of character states for toe tip development, as well as a vague type locality encompassing a vast area in eastern Ecuador and northern Peru, the identity of this specimen is uncertain. Morphology of toe tip fragments and the original species description suggest that A. hylaedactyla could correspond to at least two described species (A. andreae or A. simonstuarti) or additional unnamed genetic lineages of the A. andreae clade, all bearing toe tips expanded into discs. Analysis of morphometric data, however, clustered the holotype with the Amazonian open-formation morphotype (toe tips unexpanded).

  • Why the World's Tallest Waterfall Is Named Angel Falls
    terrae incognitae, Vol. 44 No. 1, April, 2012, 16–42 Why the World’s Tallest Waterfall is Named Angel Falls Karen Angel Eureka, California, USA Jimmie Angel (1899–1956) was an aviator and adventurer in the early years of air exploration. This article discusses his discovery of Angel Falls, the world’s tallest waterfall, which bears his name, and the impact of that discovery — and his reputation and dogged determination — on later expeditions into the Venezuelan interior. The author, Angel’s niece, pieces together this fascinating story using a blend of dedicated archival research and painstakingly acquired family history and the reminiscences of friends and acquaintances of Jimmie and his wife Marie. The result is a tale of modern-day exploration and geographic discovery. keywords Jimmie Angel, Angel Falls, Auyántepui, E. Thomas Gilliard, Anne Roe Simpson, George Gaylord Simpson, Venezuela When I began researching the life of American aviator James “Jimmie” Crawford Angel (1899–1956), there were many stories about him in books, newspapers, magazines, and more recently on websites and blogs. Some stories can be verified by the Angel family or other sources; some stories are plausible, but remain unverified; other stories are fabrications. The result is a tangle of true stories and unverified stories. Finding the truth about Jimmie Angel is also complicated because he himself repeated the various unverified stories that became legends about his life.1 As the daughter of Jimmie Angel’s youngest brother Clyde Marshall Angel (1917– 97), I had heard stories about my uncle since childhood, but the family had few documents to support the stories.
