Comment

Morphologically very similar to a number of other species in the region; see discussion in the original paper for a summary of misidentifications in these species. Formerly included records in the northern part of the Purus–Madeira Interfluve, Amazonas, Brazil, that are now assigned to Allobates caldwellae, according to Lima, Ferrão, and Silva, 2020, J. Zool. Syst. Evol. Res., 58: 1173–1194.
