The Scinax ruber group rejected as nonmonophyletic by Faivovich, 2002, Cladistics, 18: 367-393. In the Scinax ruber clade of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 96. See Faivovich and Carrizo, 1999, Herpetol. Rev., 30: 107, for Argentinian record. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad.
