Comment
See Grant, Frost, Caldwell, Gagliardo, Haddad, Kok, Means, Noonan, Schargel, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 299, for discussion of taxonomic history and revision. Roberts, Brown, von May, Arizabal, Schulte, and Summers, 2006, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 41: 149-164, discussed phylogeny of selected species (as Epipedobates). See comment under Colostethus. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences, confirmed the monophyly of this taxon, although suggesting that its recognition renders Colostethus paraphyletic; they also provided a tree of exemplar species.
