Distribution

Known only from three localities in Misiones, Argentina, Departmentos of Treinta y Tres, Maldonado, and Cerro Largo, Uruguay; and Municipality of Sertão, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Teresa, and Paraná, Brazil; likely into adjacent Paraguay.

Comment

In the Scinax catharinae group, and possibly confused as Scinax berthae in Brazil, according to the original publication. The species name is a noun in apposition, according to the original publication. Borteiro, Nieto, and Kolenc, 2007, Check List, 3: 98-99, provided a range extension. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 27, suggested that this species likely occurs in Paraguay. Laufer, Piñeiro-Guerra, Pereira-Garbero, Barreneche, and Ferrero, 2009, Biota Neotrop., 9: 275-278, provided a second locality in Uruguay. Kolenc, Borteiro, Tedros, and Prigioni, 2010, Stud. Neotrop. Fauna Environ., 42: 175–180, described larval morphology. Busin, Zanella, Guaragni, Paula, and Lima, 2010, Herpetol. Rev., 41: 376, provided a record for Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Pereyra, Borteiro, Baldo, Kolenc, and Conte, 2012, Herpetol. J., 22: 133-137, compared the advertisement call of this species with Scinax berthae. See account by Maneyro, Langone, and Carreira, 2019, in Maneyro, Langone, and Carreira (eds.), Libro Rojo Anf. Rept. Uruguay: 64–68, for Uruguay.
