Comment
See revision by Cruz, Caramaschi, Fusinatto, and Brasileiro, 2019, Zootaxa, 4648: 27–62, who redelimited the species; all literature prior to this should be used with caution as it may apply to the derivative species Dendrophryniscus izecksohni, Dendrophryniscus haddadi, Dendrophryniscus jureia, or Dendrophryniscus davori. See comment under Dendrophryniscus leucomystax. For discussion of distribution see Braun and Braun, 1979, Iheringia, Zool., 54: 47-54. See accounts by Cochran, 1955 "1954", Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 206: 10-12, and Izecksohn, 1994 "1993", Rev. Brasil. Zool., 10: 473-488. Izecksohn and Carvalho-e-Silva, 2001, Anf. Municipio Rio de Janeiro: 31, provided a brief account and photo. Izecksohn, 1971, Arq. Mus. Nac., Rio de Janeiro, 54: 129-136, reported on color pattern variation. Cruz and Fusinatto, 2008, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 3: 25, commented on the range.
