Comment
Likely confused with Oedipina taylori according to the original publication. Ariano and Dix, 2010, Herpetol. Rev., 41: 505, provided a record of Oedipina taylori that is likely assignable to the recently named Oedipina motaguae from the Province of Zacapa, Guatemala, and commented on the habitat.
