Comment
See Cei, 1984, Herpetologica, 40: 47-51, for comments on identification. See comment under Batrachyla. Ferraro, Blotto, Baldo, Barrasso, Barrionuevo, Basso, Cardozo, Cotichelli, Faivovich, Pereyra, and Lavilla, 2018, in Vaira, Akmentins, and Lavilla (eds.), Cuad. Herpetol., 32 (Supl. 1): 17–19, noted that the taxonomic status of the species and subspecies in Argentina remained problematic.
