Comment
Most similar to, and previously confused with, Bolitoglossa striatula, according to the original publication. García-París, Parra-Olea, Brame, and Wake, 2002, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 16: 49, considered this species to be the sister taxon of Bolitoglossa striatula. In the subgenus Bolitoglossa of Parra-Olea, García-París, and Wake, 2004, Biol. J. Linn. Soc., 81: 336, formerly the Bolitoglossa mexicana group. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 245, provided a brief account, photograph, and map.
