Comment
In the Bolitoglossa (Eladinea) adspersa group of Parra-Olea, García-París, and Wake, 2004, Biol. J. Linn. Soc., 81: 336; formerly in the Bolitoglossa medemi group of Wake and Lynch, 1976, Sci. Bull. Nat. Hist. Mus. Los Angeles Co., 25: 1-65. Cisneros-Heredia, 2007, Check List, 2(3): 64-67, provided a discussion of the range as well as new records. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 260, provided a brief account, photograph, and map. Acosta-Galvis and Gutiérrez-Lamus, 2012, Pap. Avulsos Zool., São Paulo, 52: 212, noted that this species had been confused with Bolitoglossa guaneae prior to the latter's naming, implying that records of Bolitoglossa equatoriana may be lacking for southern Colombia.
