Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Aplastodiscus perviridis by Garcia, Caramaschi, and Kwet, 2001, Rev. Brasil. Zool., 18: 1205 (who provided discussion on page 1197-1218), where it had been placed by Bokermann, 1966, Lista Anot. Local. Tipo Anf. Brasil.: 47. In the Aplastodiscus perviridis group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 82. Santos-Pereira, Pombal, and Rocha, 2018, Biota Neotrop., 18 (3: e20170322): 1–19, suggested that isolated records from Paraná, Brazil, requires confirmation.
