Comment
In the Scinax catharinae clade, Scinax catharinae group, and most similar to Scinax argyreornatus, according to the original publication. Rodrigues, Nascimento, Almeida, and Mott, 2017, Stud. Neotrop. Fauna Environ.: 204–215, reported on larval morphology. Dubeux, Silva, Nascimento, Gonçalves, and Mott, 2019, Rev. Nordestina Zool., 12: 18–52, summarized the literature on larval morphology. See Dubeux, Nascimento, Lima, Magalhães, Silva, Gonçalves, Almeida, Correia, Garda, Mesquita, Rossa-Feres, and Mott, 2020, Biota Neotrop., 20 (2: e20180718): 1–24, for characterization and identification of larvae north of the Rio São Francisco in the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil. Dubeux, Nascimento, Gonçalves, and Mott, 2021, Pap. Avulsos Zool., São Paulo, 61 (e20216176): 1–10, who provided a key to the frogs of the type locality region. Included in the Ololygon argyreornata group of Araujo-Vieira, Lourenço, Lacerda, Lyra, Blotto, Ron, Baldo, Pereyra, Suárez-Mayorga, Baêta, Ferreira, Barrio-Amorós, Borteiro, Brandão, Brasileiro, Donnelly, Dubeux, Köhler, Kolenc, Leite, Maciel, Nunes, Orrico, Peloso, Pezzuti, Reichle, Rojas-Runjaic, Silva, Sturaro, Langone, Garcia, Rodrigues, Frost, Wheeler, Grant, Pombal, Haddad, and Faivovich, 2023, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 27 (Special Issue): 54, who provided an extensive revision of the Scinaxini. Nascimento, Araujo-Vieira, Dubeux, Marinho, Guedes-Santos, Roberto, Santos, Ávila, Pombal, and Faivovich, 2024, Zootaxa, 5493: 401–418, discussed morphology, call, phylogenetic position based on molecular markers, and range.
