Comment
In the Atelopus ignescens group of Lynch, 1993, Alytes, 11: 77-87. Skin alkoloid evidence provided by Kim, Brown, Mosher, and Fuhrman, 1975, Science, 189: 151-152, suggested that Atelopus varius zeteki Dunn, 1933, is a distinct species. See comments by Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 191, on the distinctiveness of this taxon from Atelopus varius. Richards and Knowles, 2007, Mol. Ecol., 16: 3119-3133, reported on the molecular and ecological distinctiveness of the two species. 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: 178. Ibáñez, Kahn, and Rueda-Martínez, 2005, in Rueda-Almonacid et al. (eds.), Ranas Arlequines: 117, provided a brief account, photograph, and map.
