Comment

See Duellman and Lehr, 2009, Terrest.-breeding Frogs in Peru: 80-85, for accounts of the Peruvian species. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, placed it provisionally as incertae sedis within Craugastoridae although their tree suggests that it may be the sister taxon of their Strabomantinae.
