We provide accounts for all described species including an assessment of their conservation status.Ĭitation: Caminer MA, Milá B, Jansen M, Fouquet A, Venegas PJ, Chávez G, et al. Dendropsophus triangulum sensu stricto is the most widely distributed species it occurs in Amazonian Ecuador, Peru and Brazil, reaching the state of Pará. corresponds to populations in the Amazon basin of Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru previously referred to as D. Dendropsophus leucophyllatus sensu stricto occurs in the Guianan region.
All confirmed candidate species are morphologically distinct and have much smaller geographic ranges than those previously reported for D. We describe the remaining two confirmed candidate species, one from Bolivia and another from Peru. Among the confirmed candidate species, three have available names: Dendropsophus leucophyllatus, Dendropsophus triangulum, and Dendropsophus reticulatus, this last being removed from the synonymy of D. Our results uncovered the existence of five confirmed and four unconfirmed candidate species. Here we combine genetic, morphological, and bioacoustic data to assess the phylogenetic relationships and species boundaries of two Amazonian species of the Dendropsophus leucophyllatus species group: D. This means that real species richness may be significantly higher than current estimates. Genetic data in studies of systematics of Amazonian amphibians frequently reveal that purportedly widespread single species in reality comprise species complexes.
