Abstract

The taxonomic status of Eleutherodactylus skydmainos Flores & Rodríguez, 1997 and E. karcharias Flores & Rodríguez, 1997 (Anura: Leptodactylidae) José M. Padial, Ignacio De la Riva Eleutherodactylus skydmainos and Eleuthero- dactylus karcharias were both described by Flores and Rodríguez (1997) and no informa- tion on these species has been published since then. Eleutherodactylus skydmainos was de- scribed from Amazonian Lowland Forest and Andean slopes in Southern and Central Peru, while E. karcharias was described from An- dean slopes in northern Peru. Both species were included in the E. conspicillatus group sensu Lynch (1976). Although Flores and Ro- dríguez (1997) compared separately the two new species with other members of the E. con- spicillatus group, they failed to compare the two new species to each other.
