Comment
In the Eleutherodactylus omiltemanus group of Ford and Savage; see comment under Eleutherodactylus omiltemanus. In the Eleutherodactylus (Craugastor) gollmeri group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 225, and Lynch, 2000, Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Exact. Fis. Nat., 24: 129-156. Placed in the Craugastor laticeps species series (= the Eleutherodactylus gollmeri group of earlier authors) of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 38. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 304. 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. Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 53, 122, excluded this species from any of the named species series within Craugastor and noted that this species has not yet been included in any molecular study so the previous association by Lynch, 2000, Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Exact. Fis. Nat., 24: 129-156, of this species with Craugastor daryi based on the shared fusion of the sacrum and the last presacral vertebra should not be discounted.
