Comment
Lynch, 1979, Am. Mus. Novit., 2680: 5, placed this genus in his Telmatobiinae despite the similarity of its peculiar digit morphology to that of Hylodinae according to D.C. Cannatella in Frost, 1985, Amph. Species World: 265. Assignment to Strabomantidae or Strabomantinae by Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 1-182, was provisional due to not being included in their analysis. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, also did not include this taxon in their analysis and placed it provisionally as incertae sedis within Craugastoridae.
