Comment
Placed into the synonymy of Scinax x-signata by Hoogmoed and Gruber, 1983, Spixiana, München, Suppl., 9: 363. Sturaro and Peloso, 2014, Pap. Avulsos Zool., São Paulo, 54: 19-20, and Sichieri, Gordo, and Nunes, 2019, An. Encontro Nac. Pos-Grad., Univ. Santa Cecilia, 3: 27–32, doubted this synonymy but made no taxonomic change. Suárez-Mayorga, 2022, Brazil. J. Animal & Environm. Res., 5: 3135, provisionally recognized the species based on the holotype alone, but suggested that it may represent an older name for other species of Scinax found in the region.
