Description
Dendropsophus amicorum (Mijares-Urrútia 1998) *
Holotype: USNM 216677.
Type locality: Cerro Socopó, 84 km al NO de Carora, Estado Falcón, Venezuela (10°28’N, 70°48’O).
Distribution: Region 2. Known from type locality.
Remarks: Known only by holotype. No additional specimens collected after it in 1968. Faivovich et al. (2005) assigned this species to Dendropsophus but not to any species group. Assessing this apparently rare species is important, as it could be confused with a common species like “ Dendropsophus aff. minutus,” which would have implications for conservation. Currently considered Critically Endangered by the Venezuelan Red Book (Mijares-Urrútia et al. 2015).
