Comment
Diagnosed from Ranitomeya duellmani in the original publication by call and molecular characters. Lötters, Jungfer, Henkel, and Schmidt, 2007, Poison Frogs: 494-496, provided an account and placed this species in their Ranitomeya ventrimaculata group. In the Ranitomeya reticulata species group of Brown, Twomey, Amézquita, Souza, Caldwell, Lötters, von May, Melo-Sampaio, Mejía-Vargas, Pérez-Peña, Pepper, Poelman, Sanchez-Rodriguez, and Summers, 2011, Zootaxa, 3083: 47, and who provided an account on page 56-57. Muell, Chávez, Prates, Guillory, Kahn, Twomey, Rodrigues, and Brown, 2022, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 168 (107389): 1–10, regarded this nominal species to be a species complex, with one lineage, Ranitomeya aff. uakarii being the sister taxon of Ranitomeya benedicta and nominal Ranitomeya uakarii being the sister taxon of a larger group. These authors suggested that further research is needed.
