Comment
In the Atelopus flavescens group of Lynch, 1993, Alytes, 11: 77–87. Lötters, 1996, Neotrop. Toad Genus Atelopus: 33, suggested the possibility that the elevation of the type locality was a typographic error in the original publication. Lynch and Suárez-Mayorga, 2004, in Rangel (ed.), Colombia Divers. Biotica IV, El Chocó, 1: 654, provided additional records from Colombia. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 168. Guerrero and Rueda-Almonacid, 2005, in Rueda-Almonacid et al. (eds.), Ranas Arlequines: 121, provided a brief account, photograph, and map.
