Comment
Prior to the revision of Grant, Frost, Caldwell, Gagliardo, Haddad, Kok, Means, Noonan, Schargel, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 299, placed in the Colostethus brunneus group (Group II) of Rivero, 1990 "1988", Mem. Soc. Cienc. Nat. La Salle, 48: 3-32, and the Colostethus trilineatus group of Morales, 2002 "2000", Publ. Asoc. Amigos Doñana, 13: 1-59, (who provided an account for this species and noted that records from Ecuador apply to other species). See account by Morales, 1994, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 8: 101. Köhler and Lötters, 1999, Bonn. Zool. Beitr., 48: 259-273, noted the difficulty of identification of Bolivian specimens. See also De la Riva, Köhler, Lötters, and Reichle, 2000, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 14: 29, for discussion of the taxonomic problems in Bolivia and confusion with Allobates marchesianus. See Grant and Rodríguez, 2001, Am. Mus. Novit., 3355: 1-24, for discussion and redescription of the holotype. Melo-Sampaio, 2015, Herpetol. Rev., 46: 210–211, provided a record for Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil. Melo-Sampaio, Oliveira, and Prates, 2018, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 13: 143–144, commented on geographic variation and misidentifications in the literature.
