The sister taxon of Eupsophus migueli, but confused with Eupsophus roseus prior to its naming according to the original publication.

Removed from the synonymy of Eupsophus migueli by Suárez-Villota, Quercia, Vera-Sovier, and Nuñez, 2018, PLoS One, 13(12: e0204968): 1–19, were it had been placed by Correa-Quezada, Vásquez, Castro-Carrasco, Zúñiga-Reinoso, Ortiz, and Palma, 2017, PLoS One, 12(8: e0181026): 13.
