Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Phrynopus by Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 109, where it had been placed by Lynch, 1975, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 35: 8. Hedges et al. (p. 110) noted that the taxon had not yet been included in a phylogenetic analysis. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, also did not include this taxon in their analysis and placed it provisionally as incertae sedis within Craugastoridae. Acosta-Galvis, Streicher, Manuelli, Cuddy, and de Sá, 2018, Zootaxa, 4514: 487–500, placed Hypodactylus into the synonymy of Niceforonia on the basis of molecular data, provided a range map of the species, and commented on internal relationships of the species. Rojas-Morales and Marín-Martínez, 2019, J. Threatened Taxa, 11: 13261–13277, noted an unnamed species in Parque Nacional Natural Los Nevados, Caldas, Colombia.
