Comment

In the Cochranella granulosa group, according to Ruiz-Carranza and Lynch, 1991, Lozania, 57: 1-30. Duellman, 1978, Misc. Publ. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 65: 185–186, provided a brief account including characterization. Cisneros-Heredia and McDiarmid, 2007, Zootaxa, 1572: 42, commented on the distinctiveness of Cochranella resplendens from Cochranella ritae; on page 62 they discussed the species in Ecuador. See comments under Cochranella phryxa and Cochranella mache. Torres-Gastello, Suárez-Segovia, and Cisneros-Heredia, 2007, J. Natl. Mus. Prague, Nat. Hist. Ser., 176: 11, provided a record for Peru. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 215. Molina-Zuluaga, Cano, Restrepo, Rada, and Daza-R., 2017, Zootaxa, 4238: 268–274, reported an apparently disjunct population on the eastern slope of the central Andes in the Departamento Antioquia, Colombia, at 1309 and 1699 m elevation. Rojas-Padilla, Rios-Alva, and Gagliardi-Urrutia, 2019, Herpetol. Notes, 12: 461–472, provided records for Allpahuayo_Mishana National Reserve, Peru, and a dot map for the Upper Amazon Basin. Cisneros-Heredia and McDiarmid, 2007, Zootaxa, 1572: 43, suggested that Cochranella phryxa may actually be a synonym of Cochranella resplendensGuayasamin, Cisneros-Heredia, McDiarmid, Peña, and Hutter, 2020, Diversity, 12 (222): 89–94, provided a detailed account, including adult and larval morphology, relationships, natural history, and conservation status. Costa-Campos, Tavares-Pinheiro, and Castroviejo-Fisher, 2020, Check List, 16: 847–851, reported the species from Amapá, Brazil, and discussed the range. Taucce, Costa-Campos, Carvalho, and Michalski, 2022, Eur.
