Comment

Ford and Savage, 1984, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 110: 7, questioned the inclusion of this species in any species group. Campbell, Lamar, and Hillis, 1989, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 102: 491-499, placed this species in the Eleutherodactylus alfredi group (subgenus Craugastor) as did the original publication. In the Eleutherodactylus (Craugastor) alfredi group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 224. Removed from a monophyletic Craugastor by Lynch, 2000, Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Exact. Fis. Nat., 24: 130. In the Craugastor (Hylactophryne) bocourti species series of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 45.
