Geographic distribution.
The two undescribed species mentioned in the recent literature (
Fig. 1
) are known from one locality each: Tolhuaca (
Eupsophus
sp. 2 of
Blotto et al. 2013
) and Villarrica (
Eupsophus
sp. of
Suarez-Villota
et al. 2018b
) (both considered
as
E. roseus
by
Correa et al. 2017
). Also, a series of populations located between 36°10' and 38°15'S, assigned to
E. roseus
by
Correa et al. (2017)
, should be included here since they occupy intermediate phylogenetic and geographic positions among the species recognized by
Suarez-Villota
et al. (2018b)
. Almost all these localities are within the latitudinal limits defined for
E. roseus
according to historical records (see above), but as
Correa et al. (2017)
indicated, these populations cannot identify unambiguously to species level by their external characters. Other southernmost undetermined populations included in
Correa et al. (2017)
(Santa Amelia, Pumalal, Puringue and Malalhue) are considered here as
E. roseus
because they make up a well-supported monophyletic group with specimens from the type locality of that species (where the specimen from
Naguilan
is also included). The two new localities where phenotypic observations were done for this review (see below) are also included here.
