On the basis of molecular and morphological evidence, we evaluated the taxonomic identity of two species of Andean frogs of the genus Telmatobius: Telmatobius pefauri and T. zapahuirensis, present in the western Andean slopes at the northern extreme of Chile. We also investigated the taxonomic assignment of five populations of Telmatobius recently discovered around the type localities of these two species. The results indicate that T. pefauri inhabits, not only Murmuntani its type locality, but also the montane localities of Belén, Copaquilla, Lupica, Saxamar and Socoroma. Our study also shows that T. pefauri and T. zapahuirensis are the same taxon. Therefore, Telmatobius zapahuirensis Veloso, Sallaberry, Navarro, Iturra, Valencia, Penna & Díaz, 1982 would be a subjective junior synonym of Telmatobius pefauri Veloso & Trueb, 1976.
基于分子和形态学证据，我们评估了智利北部安第斯山脉西坡的两种Telmatobius属安第斯蛙类的分类身份：Telmatobius pefauri和T. zapahuirensis。我们还研究了最近在这两个物种的模式产地周围发现的五个Telmatobius种群的分类归属。结果表明，T. pefauri不仅栖息于其模式产地穆穆坦尼，还分布于贝伦、科帕基利亚、卢皮卡、萨克萨马尔和索科罗马的山地地区。我们的研究还表明，T. pefauri和T. zapahuirensis是同一分类单元。因此，1982年的Telmatobius zapahuirensis Veloso、Sallaberry、Navarro、Iturra、Valencia、Penna & Díaz将是1976年的Telmatobius pefauri Veloso & Trueb的主观同物异名。
