The specific name “ batesii ” with – ii is the correct Latin genitive of the form “ Batesius ”, as used by Butler. The correction to “ batesi ” (as sometimes seen in the literature) with – i is an unjustified emendation. Rationale of the synonymy. The original description of Amado & Morales does not contain any meaningful evidence to keep H. nicefori as distinct from H. batesii. The whereabouts of the type specimens of Heterophrynus nicefori are unknown, following a survey conducted in many Colombian potential repositories. However, material from the type locality has been examined (see list above) and deemed conspecific with H. batesii.

Abstract

The genus Heterophrynus is for the first time recorded from Transandean areas. Heterophrynus boterorum sp. nov. and Heterophrynus silviae sp. nov. are described respectively from Tolima and Valle del Cauca departments, Colombia, based on material from the 2006 Arachnological Expedition of Museu Nacional to Colombia. Heterophrynus nicefori Amado & Morales, 1986, from Meta department is newly considered a junior subjective synonym of Phrynus batesii Butler, 1873 (currently in Heterophrynus). Heterophrynus is currently known from Amazon forest, Brazilian Cerrado, Littoral Ridge of Venezuela and Andean forests. A revised terminology is proposed for the constituent parts of male and female gonopods of Heterophrynus.

Resumo

Este é o primeiro registro transandino do gênero Heterophrynus. Heterophrynus boterorum sp. nov. e Heterophrynus silviae sp. nov. são descritos respectivamente dos departamentos de Tolima e Valle del Cauca, baseado em material da Expedição Aracnológica do Museu Nacional à Colômbia. Heterophrynus nicefori, do departamento de Meta é considerado sinônimo júnior subjetivo de Phrynus batesii Butler, 1873 (atualmente em Heterophrynus). Heterophrynus é conhecido atualmente de floresta amazônica, cerrado brasileiro, Cordilheira Costeira da Venezuela e florestas andinas. Uma nova terminologia é proposta para as partes constituintes dos gonópodos masculino e feminino de Heterophrynus.
