| description | Recent collections are used to expand existing descriptions of adults of Otophryne robusta and O. steyermarki.The calls of O. pyburni and O. robusta are compared. Tadpoles of O. robusta and O. steyermarki are described. Characters for distinguishing among adults and tadpoles of these two species and O. pyburni are provided. Otophryne is a Guiana shield endemic; O. pyburni is widespread at lower elevations, whereas O. robusta and O. steyermarki occur in southeastern Venezuela and western Guyana, the former at moderate elevations and the latter at higher elevations.<br>Coleções recentes de Otophryne robusta e O. steyermarki são usadas para expandir descrições existentes de adultos. Os cantos de O. pyburni e O. robusta são comparados. Os girinos de O. robusta e O. steyermarki são descritos. Os caráteres para distinguir adultos e girinos destas duas espécies e O. pyburni são fornecidos. Otophryne é endêmico do escudo Guianense; O. pyburni é comum em elevações mais baixas, enquanto O. robusta e O. steyermarki ocorrem no sudeste da Venezuela e Guiana ocidental, o primeiro em elevações moderadas e o último em elevações maiores. |
