Caramaschi, Ulisses & Canedo, Clarissa, 2006, Reassessment of the taxonomic status of the genera Ischnocnema Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 and Oreobates Jiménez­de­la­Espada, 1872, with notes on the synonymy of Leiuperus verrucosus Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 (Anura: Leptodactylidae), Zootaxa 1116, pp. 43-54 : 46

Genus Oreobates Jiménez­de­la­Espada, 1872

The genus Oreobates was described by Jiménez­de­la­Espada (1872) to accommodate a single new species, O. quixensis , which was later redescribed and illustrated (Jiménez­dela­Espada, 1875). By considering Oreobates a junior synonym of Ischnocnema, Lynch (1971, 1972) and Lynch and Schwartz (1971) established the combination Ischnocnema quixensis . For a summary of the taxonomic history and redescription of this species, see Lynch and Schwartz (1971); for the geographical distribution, see Lynch (1974) and Lynch and Lescure (1980).
