A Synopsis of Neotropical Hylid Frogs, Genus Osteocephalus

A Synopsis of Neotropical Hylid Frogs, Genus Osteocephalus, written by Linda Trueb in the early 1970s, provides a comprehensive taxonomic review of the Osteocephalus genus, focusing on hylid frogs in the Neotropical regions, particularly the Amazon Basin and Andean slopes. The work identifies five distinct species, detailing their morphology, distribution, and taxonomic revisions while addressing previous misidentifications. Trueb's research highlights the challenges faced in Amazonian Ecuador and emphasizes the need for further study in this area of amphibian diversity.
