Savage and Heyer, 1967, Beitr. Neotrop. Fauna, 5: 111-131, analyzed intraspecific variation. See account by Duellman, 1970, Monogr. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas: 102-112, and note by Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 839-840. See also accounts by Lee, 1996, Amph. Rept. Yucatan Peninsula: 84-86; Campbell, 1998, Amph. Rept. N.
