Comment

Napoli and Caramaschi, 1999, Bol. Mus. Nac., Rio de Janeiro, N.S., Zool., 407: 1-11, suggested that this binominal covers more than one species (see Dendropsophus rozenmani for one of these). Köhler, 2000, Bonn. Zool. Monogr., 48: 60, noted that the a record of Dendropsophus walfordi for Bolivia was based on a specimen of Hyla tritaeniata. In the Dendropsophus microcephalus group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 91-92. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 28, suggested that this species likely occurs in Paraguay. Teixeira, Giaretta, and Pansonato, 2013, Zootaxa, 3669: 189-192, reported on the advertisement call. Jansen, Santana, Teixeira, and Köhler, 2019, Vert. Zool., Senckenberg, 69: 237, described the advertisement call. In the Dendropsophus microcephalus group of Orrico, Grant, Faivovich, Rivera-Correa, Rada, Lyra, Cassini, Valdujo, Schargel, Machado, Wheeler, Barrio-Amorós, Loebmann, Moravec, Zina, Solé, Sturaro, Peloso, Suárez, and Haddad, 2021, Cladistics, 37: 73–105. Not addressed in the study of Whitcher, Orrico, Ron, Lyra, Cassini, Ferreira, Nakamura, Peloso, Rada, Rivera-Correa, Sturaro, Valdujo, Haddad, Grant, Faivovich, Lemmon, and Lemmon, 2025, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 204 (108275): 1–18. Nakamura, Orrico, Silva, Lyra, and Grant, 2025, J. Vert. Biol., Prague, 74(24112): 9, noted a number of misidentifications of Dendropsophus tritaeniatus as Dendropsophus cachimbo (by Arantes, Vasconcellos, Smith, Garrick, Colli, and Noonan, 2023, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 186 (107843) , from (1) Chapada dos Guimarães, Mato Grosso, Brazil, (2) Novo Progresso, Pará, Brazil, and Vilhena, Rondônia, Brazil) and Portik, Streicher, and Wiens, 2023, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 188 (107907), misidentified MNKA 9531 (Los Lagos, Yucuma, Beni, Bolivia) as Dendropsophus tritaeniatus, thus overlooking that Bolivian populations previously determined as Dendropsophus tritaeniatus are now assigned to D. rozenmani.
