Comment
Lavilla and Cei, 2001, Monogr. Mus. Reg. Sci. Nat. Torino, 28: 51, commented on the Argentine record. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 27, suggested that this species likely occurs in Paraguay. Kwet and Solé, 2008, Zootaxa, 1947: 54, noted that previous records from Paraguay and Argentina probably refer to Trachycephalus dibernardoi. See comment under Trachycephalus dibernardoi which was previously confused with this species.
