Comment
In the Atelopus ignescens group of Lynch, 1993, Alytes, 11: 77–87. Lötters, 1996, Neotrop. Toad Genus Atelopus: 29, suggested that populations associated with this name from low elevations of Panama and the Chocó of Colombia represent an undescribed species. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 167. Rueda-Almonacid and Rueda-Martínez, 2005, in Rueda-Almonacid et al. (eds.), Ranas Arlequines: 79, provided a brief account, photograph, and map stated that no vouchered records exist for Colombia. Köhler, 2011, Amph. Cent. Am.: 98–102, compared this to the other species of Central America and provided a map and photograph. Veselý and Batista, 2021, Zool. Res., Kunming, 42: 272–279, provided a dot map of the distribution.
