COMMENTS: Cabrera (1961) identified couesi as a subspecies of R. sclateri. As emphasized by its original describer Thomas (1887b), sclateri closely resembles Peruvian R. leucodactylus , and, in both Venezuela (see Handley, 1976) and Peru, R. couesi and R. leucodactylus are morphologically distinct.
