Comment
In the Eleutherodactylus ricordii group, according to the original publication. Considered a junior synonym of Eleutherodactylus darlingtoni by Schwartz and Henderson, 1985, Milwaukee Public Mus. Contrib. Biol. Geol., 74: 1-264, without supporting evidence. Hedges, 1992, Caribb. J. Sci., 28: 11-16, considered this to be the allopatric sister species of Eleutherodactylus darlingtoni. Not assignable to species group according to Hedges, 1989, in Woods (ed.), Biogeograph. W. Indies: 325. In the Eleutherodactylus (Euhyas) ricordii group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus.
