Abstract
Halipegus dubius Klein, 1905 is redescribed and illustrated from a Brazilian frog Leptodactylus ocellatus. The type-material of Halipegus genarchella (Travassos, Artigas & Pereira, 1928) and Halipegus parva (Travassos, Artigas & Pereira, 1928) are redescribed with original figures. New synonyms are proposed: Halipegus salmini Yamaguti, 1958 is considered a synonym of H. genarchella, H. tropicus (Manter, 1936) sensu Kloss (1966) of H. parva and Genarchella lenti Fábio, 1984 of H. overstreeti (Brooks, Mayes & Thorson, 1979) n. comb.
