Comment
Subgenus Euhyas. In the Eleutherodactylus ricordii group, according to the original publication, although in the same paper Schwartz suggested that Eleutherodactylus glaphycompus may be related to Eleutherodactylus flavescens, a member of the Eleutherodactylus auriculatus group. Reviewed by Schwartz, 1983, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 323: 1. See Hedges, 1991, J. Herpetol., 25: 10–17, for summary of genic variation and suggestion that the name may conceal several species. Placed in the Eleutherodactylus (Euhyas) bakeri series by Hedges, 1989, in Woods (ed.), Biogeograph. W. Indies: 323. In the Eleutherodactylus (Euhyas) ricordii group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 225. In the Eleutherodactylus (Euhyas) oxyrhyncus species series, Eleutherodactylus bakeri species group of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 74, and of Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 130.
