Comment
See comment under Pipa myersi. Noble, 1925, Am. Mus. Novit., 164: 2, had suggested that Pipa parva was closely related to Pipa aspera. Barrio-Amorós, 1999 "1998", Acta Biol. Venezuelica, 18: 59, commented on the Venezuelan distribution. Lever, 2003, Naturalized Rept. Amph. World: 146, reported introduced populations in the Zulia region of Venezuela.
