Comment
Diploid cryptic associate of tetraploid Odontophrynus americanus according to the original publication; only diploid populations of northern Argentina associated with this name in the original with other diploid populations of "Odontophrynus americanus" left without a name. Hyperoodon asper Philippi, 1902, and Ceratophrys argentina Philippi, 1902, currently residing in the synonymy of Odontophrynus americanus likely are senior synonyms of this species (DRF). Rosset, Baldo, Lanzone, and Basso, 2006, J. Herpetol., 40: 465-477, discussed the range and noted that an undescribed species found in Uruguay, eastern Paraguay, and southern Brazil was formerly confused with this species. Grenat, Salas, and Martino, 2009, Zootaxa, 2049: 67-68, documented that erythrocyte volume differs between this diploid species and the tetraploid Odontophrynus americanus. Grenat, Zavala Gallo, Salas, and Martino, 2009, Zootaxa, 2151: 66-68, reported on the larva. Pereyra, Marti, Lescano, Rosset, and Baldo, 2009, Amphibia-Reptilia, 30: 571-575, reported a natural hybrid with Odonophrynus occidentalis in central Argentina.
