Synapturanus cf. mirandaribeiroi Nelson & Lescure, 1975
(Fig. 2F)
TYPE LOCALITY. — Guyana, Rupununi District, upper Essequibo River, Kanashen.
DISTRIBUTION. — Northern Amazonia.
TAXONOMIC REMARKS. — Several populations have been identified as S. mirandaribeiroi but these identifications remain dubious and a revision of this genus is needed. The populations of the Mitaraka massif are also only tentatively assigned to this taxon. Other records of this genus in French Guiana correspond to a different species with clear differences in morphology and calls (pers. obs.).
HABITAT IN MITARAKA. — Patches of individuals of this species were found calling from underground after heavy rainfall in two places in the study area, in the forest surrounding a rocky outcrop and in a terra firme with sandy soil.
