Hyalinobatrachium cappellei is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in the Guianas (Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname) and in parts of the Amazon Basin in Brazil . It was until recently (2011) considered to be a synonym of Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni.[1]
Hyalinobatrachium cappellei are known for prolonged breeding and parental expression. Usually, the fitness and survival of offspring benefit at a loss to the parent. However, for this species, the males likelihood of mating increases with the number of clutches they attend (Vargas-Salinas, 2014).
A close species is called Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni.
