Comment

In the Eleutherodactylus (Craugastor) rugulosus group according to Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 234. See Savage, 1975, Copeia, 1975: 293-294, for review. See comment under Eleutherodactylus brocchi. Campbell and Savage, 2000, Herpetol. Monogr., 14: 195-199, provided an account. Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 227, included this species in his Eleutherodactylus fitzingeri series, Eleutherodactylus rugulosus group. In the Craugastor punctariolus species series of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 42, and of Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 123. Valdes-Lares, Martín-Muñoz de Cote, and Muñiz-Martínez, 2013, Herpetol. Rev., 44: 648, provided a new record for Durango, Mexico, and discussed the range in that state. Lemos-Espinal, Smith, and Valdes-Lares, 2019, Amph. Rept. Durango: 60–61, provided a brief account for Durango, Mexico. Loc-Barragán, Smith, Woolrich-Piña, and Lemos-Espinal, 2024, Herpetozoa, Wien, 37: 30, reported on the distributional and conservation status in the state of Nayarit, Mexico.
