Otophryne steyermarki Rivero, 1967

Holotype: FMNH 74031 .

Type locality: “Forest along río Tirica…, 5,900 ft, falls below summit camp, Chimantá tepui massif, Venezuela.”

Distribution: Region 5. Known from three different tepuis in Venezuela: Chimantá, Roraima, and Jaua (Bolívar State), and Mount Ayanganna in Guyana.

Remarks: Previously considered endemic of the Chimantá massif in the Venezuelan Guayana. Barrio (1999f) and Gorzula and Señaris (1999) reported additional localities in Venezuela, whereas MacCulloch et al. (2008) provided records from Guyana, suggesting a wider distribution. See redescription and data on morphological variation in MacCulloch et al. (2008).
