Comment
The taxonomic status of mainland and insular populations needs to be verified (W.E. Duellman in Frost, 1985, Amph. Species World: 112). See brief accounts by Kenny, 1969, Stud. Fauna Curaçao and other Caribb. Is., 29: 30-32 (as Nototheca fitzgeraldi) and Murphy, 1997, Amph. Rept. Trinidad Tobago: 63-64, for Trinidad and Tobago populations. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 394.
