Mannophryne herminae
(
Boettger 1893
)
*
Syntypes
:
SMF
. Presumably
SMF 7286
is a
Lectotype
by designation,
fide
Edwards, 1974
.
Type locality:
“Puerto Cabello in
Venezuela
.”
Distribution:
Region 2. Central
Cordillera
de la Costa (to be better determined).
Remarks:
The name
herminae
has long been associated with the abundant populations found in the
Cordillera
de la Costa. Unpublished genetic data (by J.C. Santos) indicates some of these populations belong to an undescribed species.
Mannophryne herminae
sensu stricto
apparently is found only in San Esteban (
Carabobo state
) and surrounding areas, near Puerto Cabello. The identity of other populations from
Cordillera
de la Costa traditionally determined as
M. herminae
need confirmation. Rojas-Runjaic et al. (2018) redefined
M. herminae
and restricts
Mannophryne herminae
sensu stricto
to the northern slope of
Cordillera
de la Costa between
Carabobo
and
Aragua
states. In the
Mannophryne collaris
species group (Manzanilla et al. 2007;
Grant et al. 2017
).
