Remarks: Kok et al. (2012) implied that O. nigra could be a synonym of O. quelchii due to the low genetic divergence between these forms. However, inhabiting different tepuis means reproductive isolation (allopatry), and having a different color pattern could be sufficient reason at the moment to maintain it as a valid species.
