Hylodes longirostris Boulenger, 1898, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1898: 120. Syntypes: BMNH 1947.2.15.56–60 (formerly numbered 1898.4.28.101-105); MZUT An514 is a syntype according to Gavetti and Andreone, 1993, Cat. Mus. Reg. Sci. Nat., Torino, 10: 48, presumably on exchange from the BMNH. Type locality: "Cachabé [=Cachabí], a small village on the river of that name . . . Prov. Esmeraladas. . . about 500 feet above the sea", Ecuador. Lynch and Myers, 1983, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 175: 515, discussed this locality and noted that it is not the same as San Javier de Cachabí.

Comment

Account provided by Lynch and Myers, 1983, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 175: 537-545. See account by Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 111-112, who place it in the Eleutherodactylus (Craugastor) fitzingeri group. Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 226, included this species in his Eleutherodactylus fitzingeri species series, Eleutherodactylus fitzingeri species group. In the Craugastor fitzingeri series, Craugastor fitzingeri species group of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 37, and Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 122. Köhler, 2011, Amph. Cent. Am.: 140–191, provided a key to the genera and species of Brachycephaloidea (= Craugastoridae, Eleutherodactylidae) in Central America and provided maps and photographs of the species, including this one.
