Comment
In the subgenus Bolitoglossa of Parra-Olea, García-París, and Wake, 2004, Biol. J. Linn. Soc., 81: 335, formerly the Bolitoglossa mexicana group. Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 138-139, noted that records of Bolitoglossa flaviventris from Costa Rica are based on specimens of Bolitoglossa striatula. García-París, Parra-Olea, Brame, and Wake, 2002, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 16: 49, regarded this species as forming the sister taxon of the remaining members of the Bolitoglossa mexicana group. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 243, provided a brief account and map. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 638.
