Comment
Not assignable to species group according to the original publication. Meza-Joya, 2016, Check List, 12 (5: 1971): 1–6, provided the first record for Colombia on the western slope of the Sierranía de Perija in the Departamento La Guajira, Colobia. Meza-Joya, Chinchilla-Lemus, Ramos, Armesto, and Acevedo-Rincón, 2019, Herpetol. Notes, 12: 61–69, provided a new Colombian locality (Norte de Santander) and discussed identification and the range (including a dot map). See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 129, for comments on range and literature. Arias, Barrio-Amorós, García-Rodríguez, and Chaves, 2023, Rev. Latinoam. Herpetol., 5: 7, suggested that records from the Magdalena Valley of Colombia of nominal Pristimantis taeniatus should be reassigned to Pristimantis yukpa. Rivas-Fuenmayor, Sibira, and Barros-Blanco, 2023, Anartia, Zulia, 35: 16–17, discussed the paratypes and their identification(s).
