Comment

See account by Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 258-259, who included this species in his Eleutherodactylus fitzingeri series, Eleutherodactylus bufoniformis group, and resurrected this taxon from the synonymy of Eleutherodactylus bransfordii, where it had been placed by Savage and Emerson, 1970, Copeia, 1970: 623-644. In the Craugastor rhodopis species series, Craugastor podiciferus species group of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 41. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 307.
