Comment

Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Trueb, Ayarzagüena, Rada, and Vilà, 2009, Zootaxa, 2100: 1-97, left Ikakogi incertae sedis within Centrolenidae, not being able to assign the taxon to either Centroleninae or Hyalinobatrachiinae. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences, suggested the placement of this taxon in Centroleninae on the basis of few data and terminals in their analysis.
