Comment
In the Eleutherodactylus ricordii group, according to Shreve and Williams, 1963, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 129: 328, and Schwartz, 1973, J. Herpetol., 7: 271-272. Reviewed by Schwartz, 1982, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 284: 1. Hedges, 1992, Caribb. J. Sci., 28: 11-16, considered this to be the allopatric sister species of Eleutherodactylus leoncei. Not assignable to species group according to Hedges, 1989, in Woods (ed.), Biogeograph. W. Indies: 325. In the Eleutherodactylus (Euhyas) ricordii group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 223. In the Eleutherodactylus (Euhyas) armstrong species series of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 66. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 331. Henderson and Powell, 2009, Nat. Hist. Rept. Amph. W. Indies: 47, summarized the natural history literature. Ríos-López, 2023, In Rios-Lopez and Heatwole (eds.), Conserv. Biogeograph. Amph.
