Dendropsophus aff. minusculus (Rivero, 1971) View in CoL
TYPE LOCALITY. — Venezuela, Nirgua, Edo. Yaracay.
DISTRIBUTION. — Dendropsophus minusculus is associated with small patches of vegetation in open habitats of northern South America. It belongs to a very complex species group and many populations assigned to this species may have been misidentified. Therefore, the distribution of this species remains poorly delimited.
TAXONOMIC REMARKS. — Populations of the Guiana Shield associated to forest habitat, like in the Mitaraka massif, harbour a distinct mitochondrial lineage that probably corresponds to a distinct species.
HABITAT IN MITARAKA. — This species was conspicuously calling from the vegetation after rainfall along swampy streams and ponds formed nearby the creeks.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — La Planète Revisitée Guyane 2015, MNHN-PNI, APA973-1: AF2739 (♂); AF2831 (♂); AF2832 (♂); AF2833 (♀) .
