Abstract

We evaluate the hypothesis of Centrolene lema as a species distinct from C. gorzulae using morphological, bioacoustic and genetic comparisons. Our results show that there are no consistent differences in any of these three areas; hence, we present C. lema as a synonym of C. gorzulae. Additionally we provide new data on the distribution and ecology of the species.
