Comment

In the Cochranella ocellata group according to Ruiz-Carranza and Lynch, 1991, Lozania, 57: 1-30. Placed in the Cochranella spinosa group by Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 365. Cisneros-Heredia and McDiarmid, 2007, Zootaxa, 1572: 56, discussed the species in Ecuador and noted the relevant literature. Yánez-Muñoz and Cisneros-Heredia, 2008, Check List, 4: 50-54, provided a number of records from Ecuador. Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Trueb, Ayarzagüena, Rada, and Vilà, 2009, Zootaxa, 2100: 57, considered this species as incertae sedis within Centroleninae and not part of a monophyletic Cochranella. Cisneros-Heredia, Yánez-Muñoz, and Ortega-Andrade, 2011 "2010", Avanc. Cienc. Ingen., Quito, Secc. B,, 2 (3): B3, considered this species to be in Rulyrana without discussion.  Castroviejo-Fisher, Guayasamin, Gonzalez-Voyer, and Vilà, 2014, J. Biogeograph., 41: 73, placed the species in Sachatamia on the basis of a phylogeny reconstruction. Guevara-Molina and Rada, 2018, Catal. Anf. Rept. Colombia, Medellín, 4(2): 68–72, provided a detailed account for Colombia. Guayasamin, Cisneros-Heredia, McDiarmid, Peña, and Hutter, 2020, Diversity, 12 (222): 222–226, provided a detailed account, including adult morphology, relationships, natural history, and conservation status. Brunner and Guayasamin, 2020, Behavior, 157: 1257-1268, described the advertisement call. Duarte-Marín, Rada, Rivera-Correa, Caorsi, Barona-Cortés, González-Durán, and Vargas-Salinas, 2023, Bioacoustics, 32: 143–180, reported on the advertisement call.
