Comment

In the Physalaemus henselii group of Nascimento, Caramaschi, and Cruz, 2005, Arq. Mus. Nac., Rio de Janeiro, 63: 310. Tomatis, Baldo, Kolenc, and Borteiro, 2009, J. Herpetol., 43: 555-560, rejected this group as nonmonophyletic. See comment under Physalaemus fernandezae. Reviewed by Barrio, 1964, Acta Zool. Lilloana, 20: 285-305; and Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 405406. See brief nomenclatural account by Klappenbach and Langone, 1992, An. Mus. Nac. Hist. Nat. Montevideo, Ser. 2, 8: 196. See comment under Physalaemus kroyeri. Achaval and Olmos, 2003, Anf. Rept. Uruguay, ed. 2: 31, provided a brief account and photograph for the Uruguay population. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 25, noted that although this species probably occurs in Paraguay there are at present no voucher specimens to document it there.
