Eleutherodactylus albolabris (Taylor, 1943)
Tomodactylus albolabris Taylor, 1943, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 29: 351. Holotype: EHT-HMS 18640, by original designation; now FMNH 100082 according to Marx, 1976, Fieldiana, Zool., 69: 67. Type locality: "Agua del Obispo, Guerrero, (km. 351)", Mexico.
Eleutherodactylus (Syrrhophus) albolabris — Hedges, 1989, in Woods (ed.), Biogeograph. W. Indies: 318–319. Heinicke, Duellman, and Hedges, 2007, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Suppl. Inform., 104: 13; Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 91.
Eleutherodactylus dixoni Lynch, 1991, Copeia, 1991: 1138. Replacement name for Tomodactylus albolabris Taylor, 1943, when that name is in competition with Microbatrachylus albolabris Taylor, 1940, which is now in Craugastor, obviating the need for a replacement name.
Eleutherodactylus (Syrrhophus) dixoni — Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 223; Heinicke, Duellman, and Hedges, 2007, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Suppl. Inform., 104: Table 2.

Comment
In the Eleutherodactylus (Syrrhophus) nitidus series of Hedges, 1989, in Woods (ed.), Biogeograph. W. Indies: 318-319. In the Eleutherodactylus (Syrrhophus) nitidus group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 223. In the Eleutherodactylus (Syrrhophus) longipes species series, Eleutherodactylus modestus species group of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 91, and of Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 132. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 333. Grünwald, Reyes-Velasco, Franz-Chávez, Morales-Flores, Ahumada-Carrillo, Rodriguez, and Jones, 2021, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 15(e272): 1–35, provided key comparative characters (external morphology and advertisement call) for identification of members of their Eleutherodactylus nitidus group, as well as a molecular tree to place the species. In the Eleutherodactylus (Syrrhophus) nitidus clade of Hernández-Austria, García-Vázquez, Grünwald, and Parra-Olea, 2022, Syst. Biodiversity, 20 (1: 2014597): 1–20, who reported on molecular phylogenetics.
