Proceratophrys boiei (Wied-Neuwied, 1824)
Ceratophrys boiei Wied-Neuwied, 1824, Isis von Oken, 14: 673. Types: Not designated, although presumably including animal figured by Wied-Neuwied, 1829, Abbild. Naturgesch. Brasil., Heft 13: pl. 47, fig. 1-2. Wied-Neuwied, 1825, Beitr. Naturgesch. Brasil., 1: 592, noted 2 specimens, of which RMNH 24109 is considered to be a surviving syntype and this specimen was designated lectotype by Hoogmoed, 1990, Zool. Meded., Leiden, 63: 267-273. Type locality: "Brasilien"; given as "Bahia" and "Rio de Janeiro", Brazil by Wied-Neuwied, 1825, Beitr. Naturgesch. Brasil., 1: 592. Bokermann, 1966, Lista Anot. Local. Tipo Anf. Brasil.: 25, restricted the type locality to "Rio de Janeiro, Guanabara [now Rio de Janeiro]", Brazil, but this restriction has no nomenclatural status and the lectotype is from Bahia, Brazil.

Comment
See account by Heyer, Rand, Cruz, Peixoto, and Nelson, 1990, Arq. Zool., São Paulo, 31: 317-318. Izecksohn and Carvalho-e-Silva, 2001, Anf. Municipio Rio de Janeiro: 87, provided a brief account and photo. Canelas and Bertoluci, 2007, Iheringia, Zool., 97: 21-26, provided a record for the Serra do Caraça, southern end of the Serra do Espinhaço, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 23, suggested that Paraguayan records of this species are based on misidentified Proceratophrys avelinoi. See account (as Ceratophrys fryi) by Cochran, 1955 "1954", Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 206: 230-232. See discussion in revision by Prado and Pombal, 2008, Arq. Zool., São Paulo, 39: 1-85. Carnaval and Bates, 2007, Evolution, 61: 2942-2957, discussed molecular phylogeography. Amaro, Rodrigues, Yonenaga-Yassuda, and Carnaval, 2012, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 62: 880-888, also discussed molecular phylogeography, suggested that two morphologically indistinguishable lineages can be detected via molecular markers.
