Comment
In the Centrolene prosoblepon group according to the original publication. Considered a synonym of Hylopsis platycephalus Werner, 1894, by Lynch, 1981, J. Herpetol., 15: 283-291; this was rejected by McDiarmid and Savage, 1984, J. Herpetol., 18: 213-214, and Harding, 1991, Zool. J. Linn. Soc., 103: 413-418 (who showed that Hylopsis is a synonym of Sphaenorhynchus). Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Ayarzagüena, Trueb, and Vilà, 2008, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 48: 574-595, suggested on the basis of molecular evidence that Centrolene tayrona is the sister taxon of all other Centroleninae. Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Trueb, Ayarzagüena, Rada, and Vilà, 2009, Zootaxa, 2100: 1-97, retained this taxon outside of nominal Cenroleninae and Hyalinobatrachiinae due to its unstable position.
