Comment
The species had previously been confused with Ameerega parvula (as Epipedobates) according to the original publication. See comment under Ameerega ingeri. See account by Lötters, Jungfer, Henkel, and Schmidt, 2007, Poison Frogs: 323-325, who placed this in their Ameerega picta group. Poelman, Verkade, and van Wijngaarden, 2010, J. Herpetol., 44: 409-417, reported on larval morphology.
