Comment

See Cei, 1962, Batr. Chile: 67–72; Ortiz and Lescure, 1990 "1989", Bull. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat. Paris, Sect. A, Zool., 11: 116, and Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 279–280, for accounts. Brieva and Formas, 2002 "2001", Amphibia-Reptilia, 22: 413–420, reported on allozyme variation in the species. Blotto, Nuñez, Úbeda, Wheeler, and Faivovich, 2013, Cladistics, 29: 113–131, considered this species to be a member of Batrachyla on the basis of molecular phylogenetics. Correa-Quezada, Cisternas, Velásquez, Lobos, and San Martín-Órdenes, 2014, Herpetol. Notes, 7: 703–706, provided range extension in Chile and mapped and discussed the range in that country. Puente-Torres and Simonetti, 2016, Check List, 12(4, Art. 1917): 1–3, provided a dot map for Chile and discussed the habitats occupied. Cisternas-Medina, Ortiz, and Ferrada-Fuentes, 2019, Genet. Mol. Res., 18 (2: gmr16039960): 1–9, reported on microsatellite molecular markers. Larval morphology and anatomy discussed by Dias, Vera Candioti, Sabbag, Colaço, Silva, Haddad, Carvalho-e-Silva, and Grant, 2021, J. Zool. Syst. Evol. Res., 59: 1297–1321.
