Amphibian Species of the World 5.6, an Online Reference

Hylodes berkenbuschii Peters, 1870 "1869", Monatsber. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1869: 879. Holotype: ZMB 6666 according to Kellogg, 1932, Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 160: 117. Type locality: "wareren Gegenden Mexicos (Matamoros u. a. o.)" = warmer parts of Mexico (Matamoros and other areas); stated to be "probably near [Izucar de] Matamoros", Puebla, Mexico, by Smith and Taylor, 1948, Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 194: 65; restricted to "Matamoros (Izucar)", Puebla, Mexico by Smith and Taylor, 1950, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 33: 341. Campbell and Savage, 2000, Herpetol. Monogr., 14: 202, have disputed this restriction, noting that the species does not occur at Matamoros, otherwise being found only on the Atlantic versant in the state of Puebla.

Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Eleutherodactylus rugulosus by Savage and DeWeese, 1979, Bull. S. California Acad. Sci., 78: 114. Reviewed (as Eleutherodactylus rugulosus) by Savage, 1975, Copeia, 1975: 270. See comment under Eleutherodactylus brocchi. In the Eleutherodactylus (Craugastor) rugulosus group according to Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 220. Campbell and Savage, 2000, Herpetol. Monogr., 14: 199-204, provided an account and implied that the Sierra Mixe population of northern Oaxaca might in the future be recognized as a distinct taxon. Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 226, included this species in his Eleutherodactylus fitzingeri series, Eleutherodactylus rugulosus group. In the Craugastor punctariolus species series of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 42. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 618. Torrez-Pérez and Barragán-Vazquez, 2009, Herpetol. Rev., 40: 445, provided a record for Tabasco, Mexico.
