Distribution

Known only from the type locality in primary rainforest (Oglán, Cantón Arajuno, Provincia de Pastaza, Ecuador, 01°18′65″S, 77°42′41″ W, 600 m elevation).

Comment

Noted in the original publication to be assigned to Cochranella solely on the basis of plesiomorphies and that further elucidation of the phylogeny of Cochranella will presumably result in recognition of groups that are phyletically closer to Hyalinobatrachium and Centrolene than to some Cochranella.
