Comment
De la Riva, Köhler, Lötters, and Reichle, 2000, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 14: 58, and Köhler, 2000, Bonn. Zool. Monogr., 48: 69, thought this species possibly to occur in Bolivia. Diaz and Valencia, 1985, Copeia, 1985: 175–181, described larval morphology. Veloso, Sallaberry-Ayerza, Navarro, Iturra-Constant, Valencia, Penna, and Diaz, 1982, in Veloso and Bustos (eds.), El Ambiente Nat. y Los Pobl. Humanas de los Andes: 164-169, provided an account. Penna and Veloso, 1987, Herpetologica, 43: 208–216, discussed vocalization (both as Telmatobius pefauri and Telmatobius zapahuirensis). See discussion by Formas, Veloso, and Ortiz, 2005, in Lavilla and De la Riva (eds.), Monogr. Herpetol., 7: 103–114. 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: 416. and (as Telmatobius zapahuirensis) on p. 420. Fibla, Sáez, Salinas, Araya, Sallaberry-Ayerza, and Méndez-Torres, 2017, Zootaxa, 4250: 301–314, provided a detailed study of morphology and molecular phylogenetics. See Lobos, Vidal-Maldonado, Correa-Quezada, Labra-Lillo, Díaz-Páez, Charrier, Rabanal, Díaz-Vidal, and Tala, 2013, Anf. Chile Conserv.: 1–104, for comments on conservation status and range (as Telmatobius pefauri and Telmatobius zapahuirensis).
