Comment
In the Pseudopaludicola pusilla group of Lynch, 1989, Copeia, 1989: 577-588. De la Riva, Köhler, Lötters, and Reichle, 2000, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 14: 45, noted that the two populations, separated by the Amazon Basin, might well represent distinct species and Myers and Donnelly, 2001, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 261: 45, suggested that two species existed under this name in Venezuela and discussed the relevant specimens. Lobo, 1990, Herpetol. Rev., 21: 38, provided the first record for Argentina (Chaco Province). Lobo, 1994, Cuad. Herpetol., 8: 231, provided records for Paraguay and Brazil, and Alcalde and Williams, 2004, Cuad. Herpetol., 18: 75-76. provided records in Argentina (Corrientes Province). Barrio-Amorós, 1999 "1998", Acta Biol. Venezuelica, 18: 50, noted previous confusion with Physalaemus pusilla in Venezuela. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 18, briefly discussed the range in Paraguay. Cardozo and Lobo, 2009, J. Herpetol., 43: 685-687, discussed morphological variation. Jansen, Bloch, Schulze, and Pfenninger, 2011, Zool. Scripta, 40: 567-583, suggested on the basis of molecular data the existence of an unnamed cryptic species in Bolivia.
