Comment

  Beçak, 1968, Carylogia, 21: 191–208, reported (as Pseudis paradoxus platensis) on the karyotype. Argentinian populations discussed (as Pseudis paradoxa) by Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 415-422. De la Riva, 1999, Brit. J. Herpetol., 68: 14-19, discussed the species and geographic variation in Bolivia (presumably also including Pseudis paradoxa at the time). De la Riva, Köhler, Lötters, and Reichle, 2000, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 14: 52, discussed subspecific variation in Bolivia (as Pseudis paradoxa). Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 10-11, briefly discussed the range (as Pseudis paradoxus occidentalis and Pseudis paradoxus platensis) in Paraguay. Fabrezi, Quinzio, and Goldberg, 2009, J. Herpetol., 43: 228–243, reported on larval development and metmorphosis. Garda, Santana, and São Pedro, 2010, Zootaxa, 2666: 21, suggested that Pseudis platensis may not be differentiable from Pseudis paradoxaWeiler, Núñez, Airaldi, Lavilla, Peris, and Baldo, 2013, Anf. Paraguay: 73, provided a brief account, image, and dot map for Paraguay. Neves, Yves, Pereira Silva, Alves, Vasques, Coelho, and Silva, 2019, Herpetozoa, Wien, 32: 113–123, provided habitat information and a record for western Minas Gerais, Brazil. Pérez-Granados, Schuchmann, and Marques, 2020, Zootaxa, 4768: 239–248, reported on call structure in comparison with Pseudis paradoxa
