Anomaloglossus parkerae
Species of frog / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anomaloglossus parkerae is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. As currently known, it is endemic to Venezuela and is only known from near its type locality in the La Escalera, the Bolívar state, Venezuela, near the Guyanese border.[2][4] However, its range is expected to extend southward to the Gran Sabana[4] as well as into the adjacent Guyana.[2] The specific name parkerae honors Dr. Nancy Parker, undergraduate adviser of one of the scientists who described the species.[3]
