Comment

Not included in a species group according to the original publication, although a possible relationship with Physlaemus rupestris and Physalaemus deimaticus was suggested.

Nac., Rio de Janeiro, 63: 309. Baêta, Lourenço, and Nascimento, 2007, Zootaxa, 1623: 39–46, reported on larval morphology and advertisement call. Baêta and Silva, 2009, Check List, 5: 812–814, provided a record for the Serra do Caraça, Minas Gerais, Brazil, discussed the range, and provided a spot map. In the Physalaemus signifer clade, Physalaemus deimaticus species group, of Lourenço, Targueta, Baldo, Nascimento, Garcia, Andrade, Haddad, and Recco-Pimentel, 2015, Mol.
