Description
Dendropsophus minutus (Peters 1872)
Syntypes: ZMB 7456.
Type locality: Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Distribution: Regions 1, 2, 4, 5. Widespread in Venezuela, with populations from the Coastal chain, the Andes, the Amazon, and Guiana Shield.
Remarks: Gehara et al. (2014) shows this name hides a complex of species, with at least four putative species in Venezuela. The name Hyla goughi Boulenger, 1911 was mentioned to be available for populations clustered together with Trinidadian populations. However, CBA examined the type of Hyla goughi (BMNH 1947.2.13.12) and it is considered to be conspecific with Hyla microcephala Cope, 1886. A cotype of H. goughi, BMNH 1947.2.13.83, is a subadult Dendropsophus aff. minutus. The status of other populations once attributed to Dendropsophus minutus still need to be clarified.
