Genus
Hyloscirtus
Peters, 1882
Type
species
:
Hyloscirtus bogotensis
Peters, 1882
.
Remarks
:
Centrolenella estevesi
Rivero, 1968
was described from a creek close to Río Albarregas north of
Merida
city, at
2,400 m
asl. This name was used as
Hyalinobatrachium
by La Marca (1997), but more recently
Faivovich et al. (2005)
revised the
holotype
(MCZ 72498), reidentified the specimen as a juvenile
Hyloscirtus
, and considered it as
Hyloscirtus estevesi
(Frost 2018)
. Two species are reported from the same area, both in the
H. bogotensis
group:
H. jahni
and
H. platydactylus
.

From photographs of the
holotype
of
Centrolenella estevesi
, the authors suspect it is a juvenile
H. jahni
, due to snout shape projecting beyond the lip in ventral view and absence of melanophores on fingers I and II.
Centrolenella estevesi
Rivero, 1968
is thus considered a junior synonym of
Hyla jahni
Rivero, 1961
.
