TABLE­1. Summary of described Atelopus species and subspecies of the Guianan Clade in chronological order of description, their distribution and current taxonomic status.

Available name	Described by	Geographic range	Taxonomic comment
A. flavescens	Duméril & Bibron 1841	NE French Guiana and adjacent Brazil	This is the type species of the genus Atelopus
A. franciscus	Lescure 1973 “1972”	N to central French Guiana	Considered a possible junior synonym of A. flavescens based on molecular genetics (Noonan & Gaucher 2005) and larval morphology (Boistel et al. 2005); synonymy adopted by Rueda Almonacid et al. (2005), but treated as a valid taxon by Frost (2021)
A. vermiculatus	McDiarmid 1973	NE French Guiana	Considered a junior synonym of A. flavescens based on morphology (cf. Lescure 1981a) and molecular genetics (Noonan & Gaucher 2005)
A. pulcher hoogmoedi	Lescure 1974 “ 1973 ”	Guyana, Suriname, S French Guiana and adjacent Brazil, probably farther in the lower Amazon basin	Considered either a member of A. spumarius sensu lato based on morphology (Lötters et al. 2002) or a valid taxon at the species level (A. hoogmoedi) based on molecular genetics (Noonan & Gaucher 2005; Rueda Almonacid et al. 2005), as adopted by more recent authors who partly consider to A. hoogmoedi as a potential species complex (Mebs et al. 2018; Jorge et al. 2020; Da Silva et al. 2020; Frost 2021)
A. spumarius barbotini	Lescure 1981a	NW to central French Guiana	Considered either a possible synonym of A. flavescens based on observed hybridization in the wild (Kok 2000) or a possible valid taxon at the species level based on molecular genetics (Noonan & Gaucher 2005); in this view, treated as A. barbotini by Frost (2021)
A. hoogmoedi nassaui	Ouboter & Jairam 2012	E Suriname	Validity doubtful, but specific identity unsolved; name ignored and treated as A. flavescens (Gawor et al. 2012) or A. hoogmoedi (Mebs et al. 2018); listed as a junior synonym of A. hoogmoedi by Frost (2021)
