Abstract. —Presented is an annotated checklist of the amphibians of Venezuela, current as of December 2018. The last comprehensive list (Barrio-Amorós 2009c) included a total of 333 species, while the current catalogue lists 387 species (370 anurans, 10 caecilians, and seven salamanders), including 28 species not yet described or properly identified. Fifty species and four genera are added to the previous list, 25 species are deleted, and 47 experienced nomenclatural changes. Eleutherodactylus terraebolivaris Rivero, 1961 is synonymized with Hylodes incertus Lutz, 1927 as Pristimantis incertus. Oreophrynella dendronastes Lathrop and MacCulloch, 2007, is considered a junior synonym of O. macconnelli (Boulenger 1895). Centrolene Jiménez de la Espada, 1872, is a feminine genus, so all species in the genus are amended. Centrolenella pulidoi Rivero, 1968 is considered a junior synonym of Hyla benitezi Rivero, 1961, as Boana benitezi. Centrolenella estevesi Rivero, 1968 is considered a junior synonym of Hyla jahni Rivero, 1961, as Hyloscirtus jahni. Illustrated herein are 300 species (77.5% of the total). Lastly, the distributions for all species are revised, species that possibly occur within Venezuela are suggested, and comments are provided on nomenclature and conservation issues.
