Comment

Previously confused with Trachycephalus resinifictrix according to the original publication. Hödl, 1991, Wiss. Film, Wien, 42: 63–70, described the advertisement call (as Phrynohyas resinifictrix). Rodríguez and Duellman, 1994, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 22: 42, provided a brief account for the Iquitos region of northeastern Peru as Phrynohyas resinifictrix. De la Riva, Köhler, Lötters, and Reichle, 2000, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 14: 35, provided the Bolivian record (as Phrynohyas resinifictrix). Forti, Foratto, Márquez, Pereira, and Toledo, 2018, PeerJ, 6(e4813): 1–19, characterized the advertisement call. França and Venâncio, 2010, Biotemas, 23: 71–84, provided a record (as Trachycephalus resinifictrix) for the municipality of Boca do Acre, Amazonas, with a brief discussion of the range. Meneghelli and Calderon, 2017, Herpetol. Notes, 10: 119-121, reported the species from Rondônia, Brazil, and provided a dot map of the species. Forti, Foratto, Márquez, Pereira, and Toledo, 2018, PeerJ, 6(e4813): 1–19, characterized the advertisement call (as Trachycephalus resinifictrix). Metcalf, Marsh, Torres Pacaya, Graham, and Gunnels, 2020, Herpetol. Notes, 13: 753–767, reported the species from the Santa Cruz Forest Reserve, Loreto, northeastern Peru. See comment under Trachycephalus resinifictrix.
