Comment

See accounts by Cei, 1962, Batr. Chile: 86-88, Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 285-286. Vellido and Úbeda, 2001, Herpetol. Rev., 32: 54, reported on the range of the species. Mut Coll, Ochoa, and Úbeda, 2002, Herpetol. Rev., 33: 61-62, discussed the known distributional range. Cárdenas-Rojas, Rabanal, and Formas, 2007, Zootaxa, 1580: 51–62, reported on larval morphology. Guzmán and Díaz-Páez, 2011, Herpetol. Rev., 42: 237, provided a southern distributional record in Chile and discussed the range. Blotto, Nuñez, Úbeda, Wheeler, and Faivovich, 2013, Cladistics, 29: 113-131, most recently placed this species in Hylorina on the basis of molecular phylogenetics. See Lobos, Vidal-Maldonado, Correa-Quezada, Labra-Lillo, Díaz-Páez, Charrier, Rabanal, Díaz-Vidal, and Tala, 2013, Anf.
