In Arthroleptini of Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297: 234. Blackburn, 2008, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 49: 806-826, suggested that Scotobleps is only arguably placed as a member of Arthroleptini. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol.
