A NEW SPECIES OF GLASS FROG (ANURA, CENTROLENIDAE, COCHRANELLA) FROM BOLIVIA, AND THE TAXONOMIC STATUS OF COCHRANELLA-FLAVIDIGITA

I describe a new species of Cochranella from semi-deciduous forests ne ar Samaipata, Santa Cruz, Bolivia. It is the most southern, Andean mem ber of the genus Cochranella. The new species is most similar to C. sp iculata and C. tangarana, from which it differs in color, distribution of melanophores, spiculation, and prominence of the tympanum. Large s eries of males and females of Cochranella bejaranoi are reported from two localities near the border of Santa Cruz and Cochabamba, Bolivia. Reported differences between the holotypes of C. flavidigitata and C. bejaranoi are found to be the result of sexual dimorphism and individu al variation. Cochranella flavidigitata is synonymized with C. bejaran oi.
