Adenomera cf. hylaedactyla (Cope, 1868)

( Fig. 2A )

TYPE LOCALITY. — Peru, Napo or upper Maranon River.

DISTRIBUTION. — Throughout Amazonia, cerrado and northern Brazil.

TAXONOMIC REMARKS. — Fouquet et al. (2014) showed that this species is most likely a species complex but the status of the French Guiana population remains unresolved.

HABITAT IN MITARAKA. — This species was only found on an inselberg. It is intriguing because previous records in French Guiana are restricted to the coastal savannahs and disturbed areas. Only the inselbergs close to the coast harbour population of this species. However, Avila-Pires et al. (2010) reported the species from an interior savannah in Brazil Northern Para and this population is profoundly divergent from the French Guiana coastal populations ( Fouquet et al. 2014). Therefore, this record may correspond to an undescribed species reaching French Guiana from the South.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — La Planète Revisitée Guyane 2015, MNHN-PNI, APA973-1: AF2868 (♂); AF2869 (♂); AF2870 (♂) .
