Comment

 Barrio, 1976, Physis, Buenos Aires, 35: 65–74, reported on karyotype and call. See account by Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 426–434. Cabrera, 1990, Herpetol. Rev., 21: 38, provided the first record for San Luis Province, Argentina. In the Phyllomedusa tarsius group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 117–118. Vera Candioti, 2007, Zootaxa, 1600: 1–175, reported on detailed larval morphology. Paiva, Nascimento, Silva, Bernarde, and Ananias, 2010, Ital. J. Zool., 77: 116–121, noted that this species lacks the karyological synapomorphy they hypothesized for the Phyllomedusa tarsius group. Sanabria, Quiroga, and Acosta, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 333, provided a new record for San Juan Province in Argentina and briefly discussed the range of this species in Argentina. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 12, briefly discussed range in Paraguay. Weiler, Núñez, Airaldi, Lavilla, Peris, and Baldo, 2013, Anf. Paraguay: 71, provided a brief account, image, and dot map for Paraguay.
