Type locality: Caracas, Venezuela . Distribution: Region 2. Only known from type locality. Remarks: Not collected since original description. If this is a valid species, it possibly disappeared from the Valley of Caracas due to quick expansion of the city. Mijares-Urrutia (1998) mentioned this species is apparently related to Dendropsophus amicorum and D. minutus ( sensu lato ). Faivovich et al. (2005) did not assign it to any species group.A thorough examination of holotype by CBA leades authors to believe Dendropsophus battersbyi is a valid species and a member of the D. minutus species group ( sensu Gehara et al. 2014 ); alternatively, it could be conspecific with populations of D. aff. minutus from around Caracas that deserve further attention. A detailed revision of the species/populations of Dendropsophus minutus species group in the Venezuelan Andes and the Cordillera de La Costa is required to clarify the taxonomic status of this and close species.
