Comment
See account by McCranie and Wilson, 2002, Amph. Honduras: 143-145, who note that the population in the western part of the Cordillera Nombre de Dios may be a distinct species from those populations in the central part of this range. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 277, provided a brief account and map. McCranie, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 36, summarized the departmental distribution in Honduras.
