Comment
In the Eleutherodactylus rubicundus assembly of the Eleutherodactylus unistrigatus group, according to Lynch and Miyata, 1980, Breviora, 457: 11. This assembly subsequently rejected by Lynch, 1984, Milwaukee Public Mus. Contrib. Biol. Geol., 60: 10, although subsequently Lynch, Ruiz-Carranza, and Ardila-Robayo, 1994, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 170: 1-42, considered this species (as well as Eleutherodactylus rubicundus) to be in the Eleutherodactylus cerasinus group. See account by Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 83-85. In the Eleutherodactylus (Eleutherodactylus) conspicillatus series, Eleutherodactylus cerasinus group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 222. Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 227, included this species in his Eleutherodactylus cerasinus series, Eleutherodactylus cerasinus group. In the Pristimantis (Hypodictyon) rubicundus group of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 116. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Eleutherodactylus crenunguis) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph.
