    Wesleybrouwer to the rescue once again! Thanks a lot for the answers. So, basically it's just that Wikipedia/Wikispecies/Amphibanweb are all unupdated (which I've figured out already), and on top of that, the research is not yet completely supported. But right now it's most accurate to consider Agalychnis a genus of 14 species.

    Thanks for the paper about it, I'm going to read it. Also, someone with a lot better English (and general understanding of the subject) than me should update Wikipedia... Hint hint, Wesleybrouwer

    That's to much honor
    I am still improving my English.
    Because of the English magazine i got the chance of improving my English some more over the past couple of years,
    the more you read and use it, the better it gets.
    But i guess i'm still far off the quality of native speakers.

    It's true that some prominent reference sites aren't keeping up with the latest nomenclature.
    Most of the times i bring it to their attention, but still they don't always fix the errors, not sure why.
    Still got a hard time with the faulty use of M.stelzneri for klappenbachi over seas as well,
    around here i gladly see most changed the name, perhaps my English isn't good enough to explain the more difficult subjects
    For some species the nomenclature even depends on the author, especially in Bufonids there is a lot of confusion.

    Perhaps a native speaker will be able to read and understand the publication and adjust the wikipedia according to this
    Amphibiaweb for some reason isn't to quick changing names.
    Mailed them a while ago about the klappenbachi as well.
    But so you see, never trust internet resources blind
    American Museum of Natural History
    Amphibian Species of the World however is mostly quit accurate on the names.
