Some scientists, for example Paul Menzies, say this frog is closely related to Grant's big-eyed tree frog.[2]
This frog was named after the scientist Richard George Zweifel.[3] Zweifel described, or wrote the first formal papers about, many other frogs and wrote many studies about frogs and other amphibians.
