Comment
Ford and Savage, 1984, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 110: 7, questioned the assignment of the species to any group and regarded its inclusion in the Eleutherodactylus unistrigatus group as unlikely. In the Eleutherodactylus (Eleutherodactylus) martinicensis series, unassigned to species group according to Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 220. Heinicke, Duellman, and Hedges, 2007, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Suppl. Inform., 104: Table 2, placed this species in Craugastor without discussion, presumably on the basis of geography. Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 45, discussed the rationale for placement in Craugastor and considered it be in their Craugastor bocourti species series.
