Remarks
. As for
Gonatodes ceciliae
,

was described in detail and we do not consider a redescription necessary. But specimen numbers that appeared in the original publication (
Donoso-Barros 1966
) have changed.
Holotype

Donoso-Barros (1966)
mentions in the variation section more specimens but none were considered
paratypes
. There is a series of specimens in the collection from the same
