Gonatodes ceciliae
Donoso-Barros, 1966
.
(

The description of
G. ceciliae
is quite complete (
Donoso-Barros 1966
), and we consider it unnecessary to redescribe it. However, the original catalogue numbers have changed, and the
holotype
is no longer 64301 (Donoso-Barros field number) but MZUC 8575. The allotype is no longer 6311083 and is now MZUC 8577.
Specimens
.
Table 1
shows the old and new numbers of the
type
series.

Moreover, there is mention in the catalogue of more
paratypes
not appearing in the publication, as 646083 (juvenile) that now is MZUC 12025 and 64305= MZUC 12024.
Remarks
