Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Eleutherodactylus rugulosus by Campbell and Savage, 2000, Herpetol. Monogr., 14: 261, where it had been placed by Lynch, 1965, Herpetologica, 21: 102-113, and Meyer and Wilson, 1971, Contrib. Sci. Nat. Hist. Mus. Los Angeles Co., 218: 1-47. Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 226, included this species in his Eleutherodactylus fitzingeri series, Eleutherodactylus rugulosus group. See account by McCranie and Wilson, 2002, Amph. Honduras: 382-386. McCranie, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 37, summarized the departmental distribution in Honduras. In the Craugastor punctariolus species series of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 42. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Eleutherodactylus emleni) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph.
