Comment
See account by Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 252-255. Although likely extinct at the type locality Lavilla and Cei, 2001, Monogr. Mus. Reg. Sci. Nat. Torino, 28: 113, reported an additional locality. Lavilla and Barrionuevo, 2005, in Lavilla and De la Riva (eds.), Monogr. Herpetol., 7: 117, provided an account. Vera Candioti, 2007, Zootaxa, 1600: 1–175, reported on detailed larval morphology, as Telmatobius cf. atacamensis.
