Comment

Lavilla and Cei, 2001, Monogr. Mus. Reg. Sci. Nat. Torino, 28: 40, noted that the two nominal subspecies were likely distinct species. Achaval and Olmos, 2003, Anf. Rept. Uruguay, ed. 2: 49, provided a brief account and photograph for the Uruguay population. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 7, briefly discussed the range in Paraguay. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 239.
