Rivas, Gilson A., Sibira, Luis E. & Barros, Tito R., 2022, Catalogue of Type Specimens in the amphibians and reptiles collection of the Museo de Biología, Universidad del Zulia (MBLUZ), Maracaibo, Venezuela, Anartia (Oxford, England) 35, pp. 14-21 : 16-17

Pristimantis yukpa Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic & Infante, [2008] : 84.

Paratypes (corrected to MBLUZ 151; see comments below): MBLUZ 023-025 ( three adult females), Caño María Lionza , San José de Los Altos , municipio Jesús Enrique Lossada, Sierra de Perijá , estado Zulia, Venezuela ( 10º 41’ N, 72º 26’ W), 551 m asl. 10 March 1987, Á[ngel L.] Viloria, R[ossana] Calchi and C[armen Z.] García .

Remarks: the manuscript of the description of this taxon was accepted for publication on January, 16, 2008; therefore the correct date of publication is not the printed date in the journal (2007), but 2008. Checking the museum catalogue, numbers MBLUZ 023-025 belong to three different species ( Pipa parva, Pseudopaludicola pusilla and Leptodactylus sp. , respectively), with a different locality (Río Machango, Estado Zulia, Venezuela) from the one where the paratypes of Pristimantis yukpa ( wrongly cited as MBLUZ 023-025 in original description) have been collected. On the other hand, there are three individuals of “ Eleuterodactylus ” catalogued under number MBLUZ 151 from the type locality of P. yukpa , with a note written in pencil that says “loaned to César Barrio on March 2, 2000 ”; therefore the true number of the three paratypes of P. yukpa housed in MBLUZ is 151, instead of MBLUZ 023-025. However and similar to that which occurs with the Holotype of Pristimantis turik ( MBLUZ 155), the current location of the three specimens under number MBLUZ 151 is unclear. It is currently a valid species with a geographic distribution in Colombia and Venezuela ( Arias et al. 2023).
