Comment
In the Eleutherodactylus (Syrrhophus) longipes series, Eleutherodactylus modestus group, according to Hedges, 1989, in Woods (ed.), Biogeograph. W. Indies: 318-319.

Rev., 38: 216, provided the first record for Sonora and an extension up from tropical deciduous forest into pine-oak woodland. 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: 131. Lemos-Espinal, 2007, Anf. Rept. Chihuahua Mexico: 51–52, provided an account for Chihuahua, Mexico.
