Comment

Formerly in the Bolitoglossa striatula group; this species was reassigned to the Bolitoglossa mexicana group by García-París, Parra-Olea, and Wake, 2000, in Bruce et al., Biol. Plethodontid Salamanders: 199-214. In the subgenus Bolitoglossa of Parra-Olea, García-París, and Wake, 2004, Biol. J. Linn. Soc., 81: 335, formerly the Bolitoglossa mexicana group. See comment under Bolitoglossa mombachoensis. See accounts by Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 138-139, and McCranie and Wilson, 2002, Amph. Honduras: 131-133. García-París, Parra-Olea, Brame, and Wake, 2002, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 16: 49, considered this species to be the sister taxon of Bolitoglossa mombachoensis. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 245, provided a brief account, photograph, and map. McCranie, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 36, summarized the departmental distribution in Honduras.
