Comment

In the Leptodactylus gracilis group (=Leptodactylus fuscus group), according to the original publication. 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. See comment under Leptodactylus sertanejo, which may be confused with this species for substantial portions of its stated range. Giaretta and Costa, 2007, Zootaxa, 1608: 1-10, discussed the species compared to its close relatives. Eterovick and Sazima, 2004, Anf. Serra do Cipó: 91-92, provided a photograph and brief account. In the Leptodactylus fuscus species group of de Sá, Grant, Camargo, Heyer, Ponssa, and Stanley, 2014, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 9(Spec.
