Comment
Resurrected from the synonymy of Pseudopaludicola falcipes by Haddad and Cardoso, 1987, Pap. Avulsos Zool., São Paulo, 36: 287-300. See comment under Pseudopaludicola ternetzi. Alcalde and Williams, 2004, Cuad. Herpetol., 18: 75-76, provided records for the provinces of Santa Fé and Entre Ríos in Argentina. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 18, briefly discussed the range in Paraguay. Silva, Santos, Alves, Sousa, and Annunziata, 2010, Sitientibus, Ser. Cienc. Biol., 7: 334-340, provided records for Piauí, Brazil. See comment under Pseudopaludicola ameghini with which many records probably apply.
