Comment

In the Scinax rizibilis group (as Hyla rizibilis) according to original publication. Subsequently the Scinax rizibilis group was combined into the Scinax catharinae group by Pombal, Bastos, and Haddad, 1995, Naturalia, São Paulo, 20: 213–225, and who also described the advertisement call. In the Scinax catharinae clade, Scinax catharinae group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 95. See Haddad and Sazima, 1992, in Morellato (ed.), Hist. Nat. Serra do Japi: 195, for photo and brief description. Tadpoles compared to those of other members of the Scinax catharinae group by Conte, Nomura, Rossa-Feres, d'Heursel, and Haddad, 2007, Amphibia-Reptilia, 28: 177–192. Caram, Luna-Dias, Gomes, and Carvalho-e-Silva, 2011, Herpetol. Notes, 4: 153–154, reported this species from the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and discussed its range. Bang and Giaretta, 2017, J. Herpetol., 16: 23–45, discussed and described vocalizations. Pederassi, Caramaschi, Lima, Souza, and Sampaio, 2022, Bol. Asoc. Herpetol.
