Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Bolitoglossa subpalmata by Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 135-136 (where it had been placed by Vial, 1966, Copeia, 1966: 669). In the same work Savage noted two other unnamed species in this complex, one (called species B García-París, Good, Parra-Olea, and Wake, 2000, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 97: 1640-1647—now named Bolitoglossa tica) which occurs at lower elevations in the norther Cordillera de Talamanca and the Fila de Cedral (1870-2600 m), Costa Rica. In the Bolitoglossa (Eladinea) subpalmata group of Parra-Olea, García-París, and Wake, 2004, Biol. J. Linn. Soc., 81: 335. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 248, provided a brief account, photograph, and map. See García-París, Parra-Olea, and Wake, 2008, Herpetol. J., 18: 23-31, for comments on systematics.
