Previously confused with Odontophrynus americanus according to the original publication, where the karyology, adult and larval morphology, and advertisement calls were detailed. Eterovick, Souza, and Sazima, 2020, Anf. Serra do Cipó: 1–292, provided an account, life history information, and an identification scheme for the Serra de Cipó, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Santos, Feio, and Nomura, 2023, Biota Neotrop., 23 (3:e20231486): 1–43, characterized tadpole morphology of Odontophrynus cf. juquinha as part of an identification key to the tadpoles of the Brazilian Cerrado.
