Comment

In the Eleutherodactylus (Craugastor) milesi group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 228. See account by Savage, 1975, Copeia, 1975: 284-285, who suggested that the nearest relative of this species is Eleutherodactylus milesi. In the Eleutherodactylus milesi group of Savage, 1987, Fieldiana, Zool., N.S.,, 33: 1-57. Campbell, 1994, Herpetologica, 50: 398-411, disputed this allocation. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 305.
