In the Centrolene peristictum group according to Ruiz-Carranza and Lynch, 1991, Lozania, 57: 1-30. Cisneros-Heredia and Yánez-Muñoz, 2007, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 2: 6, and Cisneros-Heredia and McDiarmid, 2007, Zootaxa, 1572: 52, suggested that Centrolene gemmatum is conspecific with Centrolene lynchi but did not make the formal change pending publication on this topic elsewhere.
