Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Eleutherodactylus guentheri by Kwet and Solé, 2005, J. Herpetol., 39: 522, where it had been placed by Heyer, 1984, Smithson. Contrib. Zool., 402: 27. Argentine record (as Eleutherodactylus guentheri) by Carrizo, De Olmedo, and Soroka, 1989, Bol. Asoc. Herpetol. Argentina, 5: 10-11. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 27, suggested that this species likely occurs in Paraguay. In the Ischnocnema guentheri species series of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 27.
