ian records in the provinces of Sucumbíos, Napo, Pastaza,
Tungurahua, and Morona-Santiago and the Peruvian records in the
departments of San Martín, Ucayali, Cusco, Pasco and Junín
(Duellman, op. cit.; Lehr 2001. Herpetol. Rev. 32:130-132). Speci-
mens reported herein constitute the first locality within the prov-
ince of Zamora-Chinchipe, partially filling the gap between Ecuad-
orian and Peruvian records. This locality is the westernmost record
of the species, extending its range ca. 230 km SSW from the near-
est locality in the province of Morona-Santiago (Macas; Duellman,
op. cit.).
