"Twenty-four species of Eleutherodactylus are distributed in the Amazonian lowland forests (below 1000 m.) of South America; 23 of these occur within Haffer's (1969, 1974) Napo refugium. Primary distributional data or references to such reports are given for each of the 24 species, many of which have not been reported since their original descriptions. Eleutherodactylus peruvianus (Melin) is removed from synonymy with E. conspicillatus (GuМ€nther). Hylodes gollmeri bisignatus Werner and Eleutherodactylus crepitans Bokermann are relegated to the synonymy of E. fenestratus (Steindachner). Eleutherodactylus melini Bokermann is relegated to the synonymy of E. ockendeni (Boulenger). Eleutherodactylus malkini is a new species reported from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru; it differs from all other Amazonian members of the fitzingeri group in having webbing between the toes"--P.[1].
