Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Atelpous cruciger by Lötters, La Marca, and Vences, 2004, Copeia, 2004: 136, where it had been placed by La Marca, 1992, Cuad. Geograf., Mérida, 9. See account by Lötters, La Marca, and Vences, 2004, Copeia, 2004: 228-232. Barrio-Amorós, 2004, Rev. Ecol. Lat. Am., 9: 3, noted Venezuelan distribution and relevant literature and noted this species as likely extinct. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 136, who regarded the species as extinct. La Marca, Lötters, and Manzanilla, 2005, in Rueda-Almonacid et al. (eds.), Ranas Arlequines: 54, provided a brief account. Barrio-Amorós and Rojas-Runjaic, 2009, Salamandra, 45: 254-256, provided a new locality (from 1957). See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 9–11, for remarks on distribution, its extinction, and literature.
