Comment

Prior to the revision of Grant, Frost, Caldwell, Gagliardo, Haddad, Kok, Means, Noonan, Schargel, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 299, this species was considered by Rivero, 1990 "1988", Mem. Soc. Cienc. Nat. La Salle, 48: 3-32, to be in his Colostethus fuliginosus group (Group VI). Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 86-86, provided a brief account and photo. See comment by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 334, regarding range.
