Comment

Most similar to Sphaenorhynchus surdus according to the original publication, where external morphology and the advertisement call were described. Almeida, Maffei, Rolim, Ubaid, and Jim, 2008, Check List, 4: 439-441, provided a new record for São Paulo, Brazil, and discussed the range. Araujo-Vieira, Tacioli, and Faivovich, 2015, Zootaxa, 3904: 270–282, reported on larval morphology. Forti, Lingnau, and Bertoluci, 2017, Vert. Zool., Senckenberg, 67: 197–205, reported on variation in the advertisement call. Melo, Rodrigues, Pelegrini, and Martins, 2018, Check List, 14: 779–783, provided new records from south-central São Paulo extending the range to the east. Pereira Silva, Ceron, Silva, and Santana, 2022, Ecol.
