Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Craugastor mexicanus by Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 40, where it had been placed by Lynch, 2000, Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Exact. Fis. Nat., 24: 130. In the Craugastor (Craugastormexicanus species series of Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 123. See account by Jameson, Streicher, Manuelli, Head, and Smith, 2022, Herpetol. Monogr., 36: 37–38, who discussed morphology, molecular phylogenetics, and morphometrics within their Craugastor mexicanus series.
