Comment

Lynch, 1969, J. Herpetol., 3: 135-138, discussed the identity of this species and placed it in a restricted Eleutherodactylus surdus group. See also brief account by Lynch and Duellman, 1980, Misc.

Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 223. Almendáriz and Orcés, 2004, Politécnica, Quito, 25: 122-123, provided distributional data for Ecuador. In the Pristimantis (Pristimantis) devillei species group of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 121.
