Comment
In the Eleutherodactylus unistrigatus group according to the original publication. In the Eleutherodactylus (Eleutherodactylus) martinicensis series, Eleutherodactylus unistrigatus group of Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 227. 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. See Duellman and Lehr, 2009, Terrest.-breeding Frogs in Peru: 190, for brief account. Ortega-Andrade and Valencia, 2010, Herpetol. Notes, 3: 251–256, provided the first records for Ecuador. Betancourth-Cundar and Gutiérrez-Zamora, 2010, Ecotrópicos, 23: 61–78m reported the species (as Pristimantis achuar) from the Centro Experimental Amazonico, western Putumayo, Colombia. Ortega-Andrade and Venegas, 2014, Zootaxa, 3895: 34–35, provided an account, placed Pristimantis achuar in synonymy, and named Pristimantis miktos from within the range of this species, which although it did not change the understood range of this species, certainly changed the diagnosis of the species. Pristimantis luscombei (as Pristimantis achuar) was confused with Pristimantis ockendeni prior to its naming. López-Rojas, Ramalho, Susçuarana, and Souza, 2013, Check List, 9: 1548–1551, provided a range extension (as Pristimantis achuar) into Acre, Brazil.
