For account see Duellman and Crump, 1974, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 23: 1–40; and Heyer, Rand, Cruz, Peixoto, and Nelson, 1990, Arq. Zool., São Paulo, 31: 265–266. In the Dendropsophus parviceps group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 93. Maffei, Ubaid, Almeida, Contieri Rolim, Scarpellini, Moya, Spirandeli Cruz, and Jim, 2009, Check List, 5: 776–779, provided a range extension and discussed the ecological and geographic range.
