Comment
Removed from the synonym of Gastrophryne olivacea by Streicher, Cox, Campbell, Smith, and de Sá, 2012, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 64: 645–653, where it had been placed by Hecht and Matalas, 1946, Am. Mus. Novit., 1315: 5–7, although Stebbins, 1985, Field Guide W. Rept. Amph., Ed. 2: 95, treated it as a distinct subspecies. See comment under Gastrophryne olivacea.
