Class: Amphibia > Order: Anura > Superfamily: Brachycephaloidea > Family: Brachycephalidae > Genus: Ischnocnema > Species: Ischnocnema nasuta

Eleutherodactylus nasutus — Stejneger, 1904, Annu. Rep. U.S. Natl. Mus. for 1902: 582-583, by implication; Lynn and Lutz, 1946, Bol. Mus. Nac., Rio de Janeiro, N.S., Zool., 71: 2.

Hylodes nasutus Lutz, 1925, C. R. Mém. Hebd. Séances Soc. Biol. Filial., Paris, 93 (1925, vol. 2): 213. Syntypes: not stated, by museum records MNRJ 96468, USNM 96469, 96470 (lost); Cochran, 1961, Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 220: 61, indicated that USNM 96468-70 were 'cotypes' and 96470 was exchanged with MNRJ. Former USNM 96468 retains that number in the MNRJ collection; USNM 96470 cannot be located according to W.R. Heyer In Frost, 1985, Amph. Species World: 305. Type locality: "Nova Friburgo", Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Comment

In the Eleutherodactylus (Eleutherodactylus) conspicillatus series, Eleutherodactylus binotatus group according to Lynch and Duellman, 1997, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 23: 229. In the Eleutherodactylus guentheri cluster of Heyer, 1984, Smithson. Contrib. Zool., 402: 42, who also described the call. See account by Cochran, 1955 "1954", Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 206: 274-276. Guerra Batista, Llusia, Gambale, Morais, Márquez, and Bastos, 2018, PLoS One, 13(1: e0191691): 1–22 and Table S1, reviewed the literature of advertisement calls and also referenced the sound libraries where recordings reside. In the Ischnocnema guentheri species series of Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 27, Canedo and Haddad, 2012, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 65: 619, Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 122, Taucce, Canedo, Parreiras, Drummond, Nogueira-Costa, and Haddad, 2018, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 128: 123–146, and Taucce, Canedo, Haddad, Lemmon, Lemmon, Vences, and Lyra, 2018, MtDNA, Part B, 3: 915–917 (reported on the mtDNA genome). Fontana, Brum, Both, and Hartz , 2025, Biodivers. Conserv., 34: 4765–4783, reported on predictive modeling of the distribution under climate change.
