Comment

See account by Savage, 1987, Fieldiana, Zool., N.S.,, 33: 34-35, who included it in the Eleutherodactylus gollmeri group. In the Eleutherodactylus (Craugastor) gollmeri group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 227. In older literature often confounded with Lithodytes lineatus. Junior secondary homonym of Hylodes lineatus Duméril and Bibron, 1841, Erp. Gen., 8: 625. Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 226, included this species in his Eleutherodactylus fitzingeri series, Eleutherodactylus gollmeri group. In the Craugastor laticeps species series of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 38.
