species that may occur in suriname 333 Species that MAy occur IN Suriname, BUT not yet recorded for SURE OR known from ONE specimen collected IN THE far past ONLy 334 species that may occur in suriname Anomaloglossus degranvillei (Lescure, 1975) Common name(s): Degranville’s Rocket Frog (Eng.) Colostethus degranvillei Lescure (1975a), Bull. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat. Paris, Ser. 3, Zool. 293:413. Type locality: “monts Atachi-Bacca, (Guyane française) près du camp III (3° 34′ N, 53° 55′ W; 360 m)”. Distribution: French Guiana (and Suriname?). The confusion between the small species of Anomaloglossus present in Suriname (now described as A. surinamensis) and A. degranvillei has prevented the clear recognition of this species in Suriname. We are therefore not sure that this species occurs in Suriname. A. degranvillei differs from A. surinamensis by having the first finger shorter or equal to the second finger, the second toe has only basal webbing and the colouration is much darker, without very contrasting areas. Its call is less fast as that of A. surinamensis. Adelophryne gutturosa (Hoogmoed & Lescure, 1984) Common name(s): Guiana Shield Frog (Eng.), Guiana Schild dwergkikker (Dutch) Adelophryne gutturosa Hoogmoed & Lescure, 1984, Zool. Meded., Leiden, 58: 101. Type locality: “between camp IV and V, northern slopes of Mount Roraima, Guyana (60° 46´ W 5° 17´ N), 3000 feet (914 m)”. Distribution: Southwestern Guyana and western Amapa (Brazil). In many publi- cations these localities are connected to arrive at a distribution area including southern Suriname. However, no specimen recorded for Suriname yet. A very small Eleutherodactylid frog with a max snout vent length of 14.5 mm. The fourth finger is reduced and the tips of fingers and toes are assymmetric. Eleutherodactylus johnstonei (Barbour, 1914) Common name(s): Johnstone’s Robber Frog (Eng.), Caraibische stadskikker (Dutch) Eleutherodactylus johnstonei Barbour, 1914, Mem. Mus. Comp. Zool. 44: 249. Type locality: “St. Georges, [St. George Parish,] Grenada”. Distribution: Many of the Caribbean islands, on most of these probably intro- duced. Also introduced in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and French Guiana. In French Guiana present in Cayenne and St. Laurent, on the bor- der of Suriname (Lescure & Marty, 2000). May already have entered Suriname, but not yet recorded by us. In its area of distribution it lives in cultivated and disturbed areas, especially in towns. It is a small eleutherodactylid frog with a max snout vent length of 35 mm. The fingers and toes have disks. It can be distinguished from the Pristimantis species in Suriname by two dorsolateral stripes. The lips are without stripes. .
