folds, resulting in a wavy outline of the limbs. The tooth row formula of tadpoles is 2/3, with the A2 tooth row broadly separated in the center. Range and ecology Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests and rivers; it is mostly found in riparian vegetation. In the northern part of its range (south to the Isthmus of Panama approximately) it is found on the Atlantic side of the American Cordillera; on the Pacific side, it is found from Costa Rica southwards. It occurs up to 960 meters ASL in the northern parts of its range, but apparently only up to 300 m ASL in its southern haunts. The males call sitting on the upper sides of leaves, usually giving three notes of about 0.05 seconds duration with a dominant frequency of 5,600–6,200 Hz, separated by a 0.5– to 0.8-second pause from each other. It is unknown if and how they physically fight for females. The clutches are deposited on the upper sides of leaves above small streams; after hatching, the tadpoles drop into the water. The parents do not guard the eggs or care for their offspring otherwise. Moderately common in Honduras, it is uncommon in Costa Rica, and only rarely found in Colombia. Able to persist in small forest fragments, it is not considered threatened by the IUCN. Taxonomy This frog, like many Centrolenidae, has a confusing taxonomic history. It was initially described as a tree frog of genus Hyla; on recognizing its true affiliations, it was variously placed in the genera Centrolene, Centrolenella (now included in Centrolene) and Hyalinobatrachium. In 2008, it was found to include the mysterious frog that had been described as Cochranella petersi, and was subsequently considered allied or identical to Fleischmann's glass frog (H. fleischmanni) or H. valerioi in error. In 2009, it was transferred to then-resurrected Teratohyla. Thus, the complete synonymy of this species is: Centrolene pulveratum (Peters, 1873) Centrolenella petersi (Goin, 1961) Centrolenella pulverata (Peters, 1873) Centrolenella pulveratum (Peters, 1873; lapsus) Cochranella pulverata (Peters, 1873) Cochranella petersi Goin, 1961 Hyalinobatrachium petersi (Goin, 1961) Hyalinobatrachium pulveratum (Peters, 1873) Hyla pulverata Peters, 1873 The holotype of this species is specimen ZMB 7842, that of C. petersi is specimen BM 1902.5.27.24.
