Comment
This species was resurrected from the synonymy of Telmatobufo venustus by Formas and Veloso, 1982, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 95: 688-693, where it had been placed by Venegas S., 1975, Bol. Soc. Biol. Concepción, 49: 71. See account by Cei, 1962, Batr. Chile: 53–54. Formas, 1988, Herpetologica, 44: 458–460, reported on larval morphology. Escobar, Estades, Falcy, and Vukasovic, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 77, provided the record for Bio-Bio, Chile, and detailed the distribution. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 420. Donoso, Correa-Quezada, Henríquez, Lagos, and Méndez-Torres, 2010, Check List, 6: 298–300, provided a range extension and provided a discussion and spot-map of the range. Rabanal and Moreno-Puig, 2014, Check List, 10: 428–429, discussed the range and abundance of the species in southern Chile and provided new records. See Lobos, Vidal-Maldonado, Correa-Quezada, Labra-Lillo, Díaz-Páez, Charrier, Rabanal, Díaz-Vidal, and Tala, 2013, Anf. Chile Conserv.: 1–104, for comments on conservation status and range.
