Comment
Ardila-Robayo, Osorno-Muñoz, and Maldonado-Silva, 2004, in Rueda-Almonacid et al. (eds.), Libro Rojo Anf. Colombia: 112-114, provided an account for Atelopus ebenoides marinkellei and suggested that it might be a distinct species from Atelopus ebenoides. Rueda-Almonacid and Rueda-Martínez, 2005, in Rueda-Almonacid et al. (eds.), Ranas Arlequines: 71, formalized the suggestion.
