Comment
Closely related to Physalaemus and Pleurodema, according to Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 410. See comment under Physalaemus. Species reviewed by Lynch, 1989, Copeia, 1989: 577-588, who defined and discussed phylogenetic relationships within the monophyletic Pseudopaludicola pusilla group noted in the accounts below. See Lobo, 1995, Cuad. Herpetol., 9: 21-43, for a phylogenetic analysis and key. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences, suggested that Pseudopaludicola is the sister taxon of remaining leiuperines. Cardozo and Suárez, 2012, Zootaxa, 3515: 75-82, provided a morphological tree that suggested that Pseudopaludicola is imbedded phylogenetically within Physalaemus.
