Comment
Confused with Leptodactylus bolivianus prior to its naming according to the original publication. Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 240-241, provided a photo and brief account for French Guiana (as Leptodactylus bolivanus). See account (as Leptodactylus bolivianus) for Surinam population by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 224-226.
