Comment

See account by Lynch and McDiarmid, 1987, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 100: 337-346. In the Eleutherodactylus (Eleutherodactylus) conspicillatus series, unassigned to species group according to Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 231. See De la Riva, Köhler, Lötters, and Reichle, 2000, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 14: 47, for literature access. Köhler, 2000, Bonn. Zool. Monogr., 48: 125-126, provided a brief account and noted previous confusion with Eleutherodactylus toftae. In the Pristimantis (Pristimantis) peruvianus species group of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 126. Literature between 1987 and 2009 will report this species in the sense of including what is now recognized as Pristimatis pharangobates. See Duellman and Lehr, 2009, Terrest.-breeding Frogs in Peru: 226-227, for brief account.
