Comment

Reviewed by Schwartz, 1976, Bull. Florida State Mus., Biol. Sci., 21: 11–20, who recognized three subspecies. Placed in the Eleutherodactylus pictissimus series, Eleutherodactylus pictissumus group by Hedges, 1989, in Woods (ed.), Biogeograph. W. Indies: 324. See Eleutherodactylus paralius. In the Eleutherodactylus (Euhyas) ricordii group according to Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 234. In the Eleutherodactylus (Euhyas) ricordii species series, Eleutherodactylus lentus species group of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 82, and of Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 131. Henderson and Powell, 2009, Nat. Hist. Rept. Amph. W. Indies: 82, summarized the natural history literature. Ríos-López, 2023, In Rios-Lopez and Heatwole (eds.), Conserv. Biogeograph. Amph.
