Comment

In the Eleutherodactylus (Eleutherodactylus) auriculatus species series, Eleutherodactylus abbotti group of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 54. Powell, 1993, Herpetol. Rev., 24: 135-137, suggested that Eleutherodactylus audanti melatrigonum warranted binominal status. This was formally proposed by Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 54.
