In the Cochranella ocellata group according to the original publication. Cisneros-Heredia and McDiarmid, 2007, Zootaxa, 1572: 43, suggested that this species may actually be a synonym of Nymphargus cariticommatus. Cisneros-Heredia and Yánez-Muñoz, 2007, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 2: 3, considered this species to be in (their nomenclature) the Cochranella griffithsi clade, along with Nymphargus buenaventura, Nymphargus cariticommata, and Nymphargus griffithsi. See note by Guayasamin and Funk, 2009, Zootaxa, 2220: 41-66, on this species at the Yanayacu Biological Station, Napo, Ecuador.
