Comment
In the Bolitoglossa dunni group, according to the original publication. In the Bolitoglossa (Eladinea) dunni group of Parra-Olea, García-París, and Wake, 2004, Biol. J. Linn. Soc., 81: 336. See comment under Bolitoglossa dunni. McCranie and Wilson, 2002, Amph. Honduras: 103-106, provided an account and noted (p. 105) that El Salvador specimens likely represent a distinct species. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 268-269, provided a brief account, photograph, and map. McCranie, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 36, summarized the departmental distribution in Honduras.
