Eleutherodactylus cochranae Grant, 1932, J. Dept. Agr. Puerto Rico, 16: 325. Holotype: Peters, 1952, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. Univ. Michigan, 539: 13, considered the holotype to be an unidentifiable one of 106 specimens under the lot number UMMZ 73477; Kluge, 1983, Misc. Publ. Mus. Zool. Univ. Michigan, 166: 32, argued that the recatalogued specimen, UMMZ 172576, is the holotype. MCZ 18603-21 regarded (in error) as syntypes by Barbour and Loveridge, 1946, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 96: 105. Type locality: "St. John Island", U.S. Virgin Islands; the UMMZ types all bear the datum "Hassel I., nr. St. Thomas".

Eleutherodactylus ramosi Rivero, 1959, Breviora, 103: 2. Holotype: MCZ 30428, by original designation. Type locality: "Cambalache Forests, n. Puerto Rico". Synonymy by Joglar and Rivero, 1986, Caribb. J. Sci., 22: 123.
