Comment
See account by Savage, 1968, Copeia, 1968: 757-758. Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 380, suggested that this species may ultimately be found in southeastern Costa Rica. Vences, Kosuch, Boistel, Haddad, La Marca, and Lötters, 2003, Organisms Divers. Evol., 3: 219, suggested that this species is imbedded phylogenetically within Epipedobates, although this is inconsistent with the results of Grant, Frost, Caldwell, Gagliardo, Haddad, Kok, Means, Noonan, Schargel, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 299.
