Comment

Most similar to Eleutherodactylus nigrovittatus and in the Eleutherodactylus nigrovittatus group according to the original publication. Heinicke, Duellman, and Hedges, 2007, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 104: 10092-10097, removed this species from nominal Eleutherodactylus but did not provide a new generic name; see comment under Hypodactylus.
