Comment
See comment under Atopophrynus. See account by Cochran and Goin, 1970, Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 288: 493-496. See also Ardila-Robayo, 1979, Caldasia, 12: 383-495, who discussed its morphology and taxonomic placement, tentatively placing it in Eleutherodactylinae (now Brachycephalidae). 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.
