Comment

In the Eleutherodactylus (Eleutherodactylus) conspicillatus series, Eleutherodactylus conspicillatus group according to Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 222. See Lescure, 1981, Rev. Fr. Aquar. Herpetol., 8: 25-32. Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 204-205, provided a photo and brief account for French Guiana.
