Remarks: Amazophrynella minuta is an abundant terrestrial species of the forest floor leaf litter throughout its distribution. In Venezuela it is very rare. Only one specimen found in many years of monitoring amphibians in Amazonas State (Rojas-Runjaic et al. 2013). Fouquet et al. (2012 a) suggested a different species of the A. minuta complex may exist in the Guianas and, thus, populations currently considered to belong to species A. minuta need to be better defined to delineate specification. Rojas et al. (2016) further examined the A. minuta complex.
