Description

Strabomantis biporcatus Peters, 1863 *

Lectotype: ZMB 3330 B, assigned by Savage and Myers (2002).

Type locality: “Veragua,” in error for “northern Venezuela.”

Distribution: Region 2. Distributed throughout Cordillera de la Costa (Fig. 1 in Barrio-Amorós and Kaiser 2008).

Remarks: Long-known as Eleutherodactylus cornutus maussi (Rivero 1961) or Eleutherodactylus maussi (La Marca 1882; Barrio-Amorós 1998). Reviewed by Savage and Myers (2002), who determined the name biporcatus (originally stated from Veragua, Panama) applied to four specimens collected in Northern Venezuela, then Eleutherodactylus biporcatus. Crawford and Smith (2005) transferred E. biporcatus to genus Craugastor. Hedges et al. (2008) subsequently recovered Strabomantis and included biporcatus as its type species. Barrio-Amorós and Kaiser (2008) commented on phenotypic variation and distribution. In Strabomantis biporcatus species group of Hedges et al. (2008) and Padial et al. (2014).
