Comment
Most similar to Batrachyla taeniata according to the original publication. Díaz-Páez and Carreño, 2002, Herpetol. Rev., 33: 218, commented on the range. Pincheira-Donoso and Díaz-Páez, 2003, Herpetol. Rev., 34: 256, outlined the range. Rabanal, 2010, Check List, 6: 287-288, provided a spot-map of the species and discussed the range, as well as noting that the population from Alao Island might actually represent Batrachyla taeniata. See Lobos, Vidal-Maldonado, Correa-Quezada, Labra-Lillo, Díaz-Páez, Charrier, Rabanal, Díaz-Vidal, and Tala, 2013, Anf. Chile Conserv. 1–104, for photograph, comments on conservation status, and range. See Charrier, 2019, Anf. Bosques Centro Sur y Patagonia de Chile: 150–153, for account (morphology, habitat, natural history) and polygon distribution map.
