Abstract
Fifteen species of glass frogs from the family Centrolenidae are recognized in Costa Rica, of which eight belong to the genus Hyalinobatrachium Ruiz-Carranza & Lynch, 1991. Among them, the species with the fewest reports is Hyalinoba- trachium vireovittatum (Starret & Savage, 1973), which was known only from three localities in the central and southern Pacific. We increased the number of localities of the species to nine in Costa Rica, commenting on its distribution in the country and the confusion that has been generated with a similar species, H. talamancae (Taylor, 1952). We describe the announcement call of H. vireovittatum, from close to the type locality, which has a duration of 0.266–0.348 s and a dominant frequency of 5042.62–5299.59 Hz, and we compare it with that of H. talamancae, which has a duration of 0.254–0.351 s and a dominant frequency of 4494.10–4933.34 Hz. We performed a phylogenetic tree comparing the two species with close congeners using partial sequences of the 16S and COI mitochondrial genes. This phylogeny includes for the first time, individuals from very close to the type locality of H. vireovittatum, permitting a better and more reliable un- derstanding of the taxonomic status of those populations. We also record data about its natural history and conservation.
