Descriptions(1)

The characterization of the material at hand by Girard (1858 a: 38) and its illustration (Girard 1858 b, Pl. IV, Figs. 33 – 38) match with what is currently known as Pleurodema thaul. This synonymy was first suggested by Donoso- Barros and Cei (1962 c), while Donoso-Barros (1969) restricted the name P. bibroni for the Uruguayan populations and P. thaul for the Chileans; for an overview of the nomenclatorial history, see Ferraro & Lavilla (2013).

Abstract

Between mid-May and early June of 1839, members of the United States Exploring Expedition collected diverse anurans in the environs of Valparaíso, Chile, later described by Girard in 1853. Of this set of species, Metaeus timidus, described there as a new genus and species, attracts attention because is a name that practically disappeared from the herpetological literature. Its identification, along with that of the other Chilean taxa collected by the USEE (Cystignathus nebulosus Girard, 1853, Pleurodema bibroni Tschudi, 1838, Pleurodema elegans Bell, 1843, Bufo lugubrosus Girard, 1853, Bufo thaul Lesson, 1826 and Metaeus timidus Girard, 1853) are the main objectives of this contribution.
