Abstract

Careful examination of morphological characters, color patterns, and advertisement calls strongly supports the placement of Dendropsophus allenorum (Duellman and Trueb, 1989) (Cuzco Reserve Frog) into the synonymy of Dendropsophus timbeba (Martins and Cardoso, 1987) (Cardoso's Treefrog).

Resumo

Um exame cuidadoso dos caracteres morfológicos, dos padrões de coloração e dos cantos de anúncio suportam fortemente que Dendropsophus allenorum (Duellman e Trueb, 1989) deva ser considerado um sinônimo júnior de Dendropsophus timbeba (Martins e Cardoso, 1987).
