Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Epipedobates tricolor by Schulte, 1999, Pfeilgiftfrösche: 271, where it had been placed by Henle, 1992, Bonn. Zool. Beitr., 43: 79-129, and Duellman and Wild, 1993, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 157: 1-53. Graham, Ron, Santos, Schneider, and Moritz, 2004, Evolution, 58: 1781-1793, refined the distribution of this taxon and compared it with Epipedobates tricolor. Lötters, Jungfer, Henkel, and Schmidt, 2007, Poison Frogs: 395-403, provided an account. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 614.
