Comment
See accounts by Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 1030–1033, and McCranie and Wilson, 2002, Amph. Honduras: 248–251. McCranie, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 37, summarized the departmental distribution in Honduras. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 243. Köhler, 2011, Amph. Cent.
