Publ., 22: 43–44, provided a brief account for the Iquitos region of northeastern Peru as Agalychnis craspedopus. De la Riva, Köhler, Lötters, and Reichle, 2000, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 14: 57, and Köhler, 2000, Bonn. Zool. Monogr., 48: 69, consider this species possibly to occur in Bolivia. Lima, Guida, and Hödl, 2003, Herpetol.
