Distribution

Comment
See account by Savage, 1987, Fieldiana, Zool., N.S.,, 33: 16-17, who included it in his more restrictive Eleutherodactylus gollmeri group. In the Eleutherodactylus (Craugastor) gollmeri group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 229. See accounts by Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 247-248 (who included this species in his Eleutherodactylus fitzingeri series, Eleutherodactylus gollmeri group), and McCranie and Wilson, 2002, Amph. Honduras: 416-418 (who suggested that the Nombre de Dios population in Honduras might represent a distinct species). McCranie, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 37, summarized the departmental distribution in Honduras. In the Craugastor laticeps species series of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 38. See comments by Sunyer, Páiz, Dehling, and Köhler, 2009, Herpetol. Notes, 2: 189-202, regarding Nicaraguan populations.
