Scinax baumgardneri ( Rivero 1961) *

Holotype: MCZ 28563 .

Type locality: “ Casa de Julián , entre Tapara y Caño Chana, 609 m, Estado Amazonas, Venezuela ” .

Distribution: Region 4. Known from type locality and two other localities (La Culebra and Puerto Ayacucho) in Venezuelan Amazonia.

Remarks: In the Scinax ruber clade, but not assigned to any species group ( Faivovich et al. 2005). Scinax lindsayi Pyburn, 1992 from Vaupes River between Brazil and Colombia seems similar to S. baumgardneri , and could be a synonym. Fresh material of both and direct comparison with types could corroborate this supposition.
