Comment
See account by Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 282-283. In the Eupsophus roseus group of Formas and Brieva, 1994, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 107: 391-397. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 622, who noted (personal comm. from Esteban Lavilla) that records of this species from Argentina actually apply to Eupsophus calcaratus. See Eupsophus altor, which was confused with this species until its naming in 2012.
