Physalaemus ephippifer ( Steindachner 1864)

Holotype: NHMW; not traced.

Type locality: Restricted to Belém, Pará State, Brazil, by Bokerman (1966).

Distribution: Region 5. Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and northeastern Brazil. In Venezuela, only from a few localities in Bolívar State: Calceta de Perro (rainforest), Las Claritas, and Santa Elena de Uairen. Confused with P. fischeri and probably most references to Physalaemus fischeri from eastern Venezuela correspond to P. ephippifer .

Remarks: In Physalaemus cuvieri species group of Nascimento et al. (2005).
