Comment
Allobates (sensu stricto) was removed from the synonymy of Epipedobates by Clough and Summers, 2000, Biol. J. Linn. Soc., 70: 515-540, where it had been placed by Myers, Paolillo-O., and Daly, 1991, Am. Mus. Novit., 3002: 18. See comments by Köhler, 2000, Bonn. Zool. Monogr., 48: 233-236. Vences, Kosuch, Boistel, Haddad, La Marca, and Lötters, 2003, Organisms Divers. Evol., 3: 219, suggested a phylogenetic placement of Allobates (sensu stricto). Grant, Frost, Caldwell, Gagliardo, Haddad, Kok, Means, Noonan, Schargel, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 299, redelimited the genus and provided explicit phylogenetic hypotheses that modified or rejected previous views. Lötters, Jungfer, Henkel, and Schmidt, 2007, Poison Frogs: 303, suggested that a number of cryptic species remained to be named in the Allobates femoralis group.
