See Sazima and Cardoso, 1980, Iheringia, Zool., 55: 3–7. Juncá, Carneiro, and Rodrigues, 2008, Zootaxa, 1686: 48–56, reported on a dwarf population in the Serra São José (state of Bahia) that they regarded as conspecific with normal-sized populations. Silva, Hoffmann, and Santana, 2014, Herpetol. Notes, 7: 717–720, provided a record for district of Taquaruçu, Palmas municipality, central Tocantins, Brazil. Oliveira, Weber, de Sá, Ferreira, Libório, and Takazone, 2017, Phyllomedusa, 16: 71–80, reported on the larval chondrocranium and internal oral morphology. Forti, Foratto, Márquez, Pereira, and Toledo, 2018, PeerJ, 6(e4813): 1–19, characterized the advertisement call. Dubeux, Silva, Nascimento, Gonçalves, and Mott, 2019, Rev.
