Holotype. RCT 1414 (Richard C. Taylor field number), by original designation, but currently housed at the Chicago Field Museum, FMNH 178285 About FMNH . An adult female from Costa Rica: Provincia de Alajuela: Cantón de Alajuela: Distrito de Sarapiquí : Isla Bonita : American Cinchona Plantation , ca. 5500 feet (ca. 1675 m a.s.l.), collected by Richard Clark Taylor on 1 August, 1947.

Etymology. The specific epithet comes from the Latin prefix ab - (meaning from or away) and condo (meaning hidden).

Distribution. Nototriton abscondens is endemic to Costa Rica and is only known to inhabit the Caribbean slopes of the Cordillera Volcánica Central at elvations from roughly 1000–2500 masl ( Savage 2002). Specimens have been collected from within a swath ranging from the northern slopes of the Turrialba Volcano to the western flanks of Juan Castro Blanco National Park.
