Comment

In the Eleutherodadactylus unistrigatus group, most similar to Eleutherodactylus platydactylus, according to the original publication. Köhler, 2000, Bonn. Zool. Monogr., 48: 119-120, provided a brief account. In the Pristimantis (Pristimantis) unistrigatus species group of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 128. Not assignable to a species group according to Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 127. Included in the Pristimantis marmoratus clade of the Pristimantis unistrigatus group as delimited by Mônico, Koch, Ferrão, Fernandes, Marques, Chaparro, Rodrigues, Lima, and Fouquet, 2024, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 108203: 1–19, on molecular grounds (mtDNA and nuDNA genes) and noted at least one additional presumptive unnamed lineage associated under this name.
