Amazophrynella sp.

Preserved specimens of Amazophrynella sp. have a cream-colored belly punctuated with small black dots, and males have mean SVL = 15.7 mm. Such characteristics are shared by some nominal species from western Amazonia ( Rojas et al., 2018), leading to uncertainty on the identity of these populations. In fact, several populations of Amazophrynella Fouquet et al., 2012 across Amazonia remain uncertainly identified even after the latest taxonomic and biogeographic studies with the genus, which prove the occurrence of extensive morphological conservatism among species ( Rojas et al., 2018; Moraes et al., 2022b).
