In the Cochranella granulosa group according to the original publication. Cisneros-Heredia and McDiarmid, 2007, Zootaxa, 1572: 43, suggested that this species may actually be a synonym of Cochranella resplendens, and on page 54 discussed the species in Ecuador and provided access to the relevant literature. Cisneros-Heredia, Delia, Yánez-Muñoz, and Ortega-Andrade, 2008, Herpetozoa, 21: 57-66, discussed intraspecific variation and natural history.
