CommentSynonymy: PINCHEIRA-DONOSO et al. 2008 synonymized josephorum with velosoi, a decision that is not supported by LOBO et al. 2010 (although the latter do not list the species in their list!), but confirmed by TRONCOSO-PALACIOS & FERRI-YÁNEZ 2012. Synonymized with platei by Demangel 2016. 
EtymologyNamed after Chilean herpetologists José Navarro and José Yáñez.
