Hyalinobatrachium iaspidiense (common name: Yuruani glass frog, in Spanish ranita de cristal de Jaspe) is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae from South America. [2] Its specific name refers Quebrada de Jaspe, its type locality.
There is some disagreement whether Hyalinobatrachium nouraguensis is a junior synonym of Hyalinobatrachium iaspidiense [2] [3] [4] [5] or not. [1] Specifically, as of early 2016, the latest assessment from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) treats Hyalinobatrachium nouraguensis as a valid species that is of " Least Concern". [1]
According to the more inclusive definition of Hyalinobatrachium iaspidiense, the species is distributed in Venezuelan Guiana, central Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, western Ecuador ( Sucumbíos and Napo Provinces), northeastern Peru ( Loreto Region), and western Brazil ( Amazonas and Mato Grosso). [2] It is expected to occur in Colombia [2] but not recorded there. [6]
Hyalinobatrachium iaspidiense grows to 20.4 mm (0.80 in) in snout–vent length. The eyes are large [5] with yellow to dull silver iris. [4] There is webbing between the third and fourth finger and between all the toes. [5] The dorsum is yellowish green with leaf green spots. The belly is transparent as are parts of the peritoneum, revealing the heart; the visceral and parietal peritonea are white. [4]
Its natural habitats are tropical forests along streams and rivers. [1] [5] It can locally suffer from habitat loss. [1]
