Comment

See Lynch and Schwartz, 1971, J. Herpetol., 5: 103-114, for a discussion of nomenclature and an account. Heyer and Hardy, 1991, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 104: 436-447, reexamined Brazilian and Colombian species previously allocated to this species and reidentified them as Eleutherodactylus zimmermanae. Lynch, 1980, Am. Mus. Novit., 2696: 8, discussed previous misidentifications. See brief account by Lynch and Duellman, 1980, Misc. Publ. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 69: 39. In the Eleutherodactylus (Eleutherodactylus) martinicensis series, Eleutherodactylus unistrigatus group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 226. In the Pristimantis (Pristimantis) lacrimosus species group of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 123. See Duellman and Lehr, 2009, Terrest.-breeding Frogs in Peru: 185-186, for brief account.
