Boana lanciformis (Cope 1871) View in CoL

Holotype: Not designed. Type series unknown.

Type locality: “Pebas, Ecuador.”

Distribution: Regions 1, 2, 3, 4. Amazonia, eastern slopes of the Andes, southern slopes of Cordillera de la Costa, Península de Paria.

Remarks: In the Boana albopunctata species group ( Faivovich et al. 2005). Hyla lanciformis guerreroi was described by Rivero (1971) for the Venezuelan form. Discussing with colleagues (L.F. Toledo, A. Chacón), some differences are clear (including morphological and osteological) and B. lanciformis could hide a species complex. If so, the distinctiveness of the Venezuelan form should be demonstrated by an integrative taxonomic approach.
