Comment

The original publication summarized external morphology and advertisement call and the authors' (p. 535) noted that the record of Elachistocleis bicolor for Tarija Province, southeastern Bolivia, is assignable to Elachistocleis haroiGarcia Marsà and Agnolin, 2018, J. Adv. Zool., Gorakhpur, 39: 63–70, reported the species from Santa Fe and Chaco provinces, Argentina, and mapped the species in Argentina. Bueno-Villafañe, Caballlero-Gini, Ferreira, Netto, Fernández Ríos, and Brusquetti, 2020, Amphibia-Reptilia, 41: 191–200, reported on the ontogeny of ventral coloration. Jowers, Othman, Borzée, Rivas-Fuenmayor, Sánchez-Ramírez, Auguste, Downie, Read, and Murphy, 2021, Organisms Divers. Evol., 21: 189–206, discussed the phylogenetics and biogeography of this species. In the Elachistocleis bicolor group of Novaes-e-Fagundes, Lyra, Loredam, Carvalho, Haddad, Rodrigues, Baldo, Barrasso, Loebmann, Ávila, Brusquetti, Prudente, Wheeler, Orrico, and Peloso, 2023, Zool.
