Comment

In the Leptodactylus ocellatus group. See also Cei, 1970, Acta Zool. Lilloana, 27: 299-306, for serological evidence of species distinctiveness. De la Riva, Köhler, Lötters, and Reichle, 2000, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 14: 40, discussed the problem of identification with Leptodactylus chaquensis. Gorzula and Señaris, 1999 "1998", Scient. Guaianae, 8: 62-63, commented on range in Venezuela. Murphy, 1997, Amph. Rept. Trinidad Tobago: 87-88, provided a brief account for Trinidad. De la Riva and Maldonado-M., 1999, Graellsia, 55: 193-197: 193-197, discussed the morphological indistinguishability of this species from Leptodactylus chaquensis. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 23, suggested that no vouchers for this species exist for Paraguay.
