Description
Leptodactylus pentadactylus (Laurenti 1768)
Neotype: RMNH 29559.
Type locality: “ Suriname, Marowijne, Lelygebergte, Suralcokamp.”
Distribution: Region 4, 5. Widespread in Amazon Region of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. In Venezuela, in lowland forest south of Orinoco River.
Remarks: Vouchers absent from Venezuelan museums; all pentadactylus -like frogs from southern Venezuela identified as Leptodactylus knudseni. Heyer’s (2005) review of the pentadactylus species group does not mention any voucher from Venezuela. Removed from previous lists by Barrio-Amorós (2009) without explanation. De Sá et al. (2014) show four Venezuelan localities in a distribution map, but without vouchers. In Leptodactylus pentadactylus species group of De Sá et al. (2014). May be distinguished from L. knudseni by absence of chest spines in reproductive males of L. pentadactylus (present in L. knudseni).
