Amézquita, Rueda-Almonacid, and Rueda-Martínez, 2004, in Rueda-Almonacid et al. (eds.), Libro Rojo Anf. Colombia: 346-349, provided an account and map (as Epipedobates pictus), and who considered Ameerega bilinguis (as Epipedobates) to be a synonym, without discussion. Lötters, Jungfer, Henkel, and Schmidt, 2007, Poison Frogs: 343, provided an accountand placed this species in their Ameerega picta group.
