Comment
Confused with Ameerega petersi prior to description. De la Riva, Köhler, Lötters, and Reichle, 2000, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 14: 57, and Köhler, 2000, Bonn. Zool. Monogr., 48: 69, considered this species possibly to occur in Bolivia. Lötters, Jungfer, Henkel, and Schmidt, 2007, Poison Frogs: 366-367, provided an account and placed this species in their Ameerega picta group. In the Ameerega simulans species group of Guillory, French, Twomey, Chávez, Prates, von May, De la Riva, Lötters, Reichle, Serrano-Rojas, Whitworth, and Brown, 2020, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 142 (106638): 1–13.
