Pristimantis aff. zimmermanae

(Heyer & Hardy, 1991)

TYPE LOCALITY. — Brazil, Amazonas, Reservas INPA-WWF-SI, 80 km North of Manaus.

DISTRIBUTION. — Supposedly widespread in Amazonia.

TAXONOMIC REMARKS. — This species is poorly known and very difficult to collect. Records outside the type locality remain ambiguous. The population of the Mitaraka massif was only acoustically detected but the call unambiguously corresponds to other populations in French Guiana belonging to a species that we identified as P. aff. zimmermanae . However, this identification remains tentative until we can compare with material from the type locality.

HABITAT IN MITARAKA. — The species was heard at night in ecotonal low Clusia forest and disturbed patches of vegetation.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — NA.
