Comment

See account by Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 426-434. Cabrera, 1990, Herpetol. Rev., 21: 38, provided the first record for San Luis Province, Argentina. In the Phyllomedusa tarsius group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 117-118. Paiva, Nascimento, Silva, Bernarde, and Ananias, 2010, Ital. J. Zool., 77: 116-121, noted that this species lacks the karyological synapomorphy they hypothesized for the Phyllomedusa tarsius group. Sanabria, Quiroga, and Acosta, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 333, provided a new record for San Juan Province in Argentina and briefly discussed the range of this species in Argentina. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 12, briefly discussed range in Paraguay.
