Oreobates

Description

Genus Oreobates Jiménez­de­la­Espada, 1872

The genus Oreobates was described by Jiménez­de­la­Espada (1872) to accommodate a single new species, O. quixensis, which was later redescribed and illustrated (Jiménez­dela­Espada, 1875). By considering Oreobates a junior synonym of Ischnocnema, Lynch (1971, 1972) and Lynch and Schwartz (1971) established the combination Ischnocnema quixensis. For a summary of the taxonomic history and redescription of this species, see Lynch and Schwartz (1971); for the geographical distribution, see Lynch (1974) and Lynch and Lescure (1980).
