Hyloscirtus bogotensis Group

DIAGNOSIS: This species group is diagnosed by 95 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial protein and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these transformations. The only morphological synapomorphy that has been proposed for this group is the presence of a mental gland in adult males (Duellman, 1972b). See appendix 4 for a justification of the inclusion of ‘‘ Hyalinobatrachium’’ estevesi (Rivero, 1968) in this species group.

COMMENTS: Species of the Hyloscirtus bogotensis group have a white parietal peritoneum (Ruiz­Carranza and Lynch, 1991: 4), as do some other Cophomantini (see comments for Aplastodiscus ). Further research on the taxonomic distribution of this character state in the other species groups of Hyloscirtus , and in the other genera of Cophomantini , would clarify which group or groups are diagnosed by this synapomorphy.
