Comment
In the Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 117, and Caramaschi, 2006, Arq. Mus. Nac., Rio de Janeiro, 64: 159-179, and Faivovich, Haddad, Baêta, Jungfer, Álvares, Brandão, Sheil, Barrientos, Barrio-Amorós, Cruz, and Wheeler, 2010, Cladistics, 26: 259 (who suggested that this nominal taxon is a composite of cryptic species). Wogel, Abrunhosa, and Pombal, 2004, Herpetol. Rev., 35: 239–243, reported on vocalization. Izecksohn and Carvalho-e-Silva, 2001, Anf. Municipio Rio de Janeiro: 68, provided a brief account and photo. Vrcibradic, Teixeira, and Ferreira, 2006, Herpetol. Rev., 37: 101, provided a record for Espírito Santo, Brazil, and summarized the range known at that time. Araújo, Loebmann, Zina, and Toledo, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 98, provided the record for Bahia. Barth, Solé, and Costa, 2009, J. Herpetol., 43: 676-679, reported on karyotypic variation. Paiva, Nascimento, Silva, Bernarde, and Ananias, 2010, Ital. J. Zool., 77: 116-121, also reported on karyology. Ramos, Magalhães, Marques, Baêta, Garcia, and Santos, 2019, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 132: 105–116, suggested on the basis of DNA and morphology that this species is a complex of five cryptic species. Ferreira, Mônico, Silva, Lirio, Zocca, Mageski, Tonini, Beard, Duca, and Silva-Soares, 2019, ZooKeys, 857: 152, noted an unnamed species, "Pithecopus aff. rohdei" in the region of Santa Teresa, Espírito Santo, Brazil. Röhr, Camurugi, Paterno, Gehara, Juncá, Álvares, Brandão, and Garda, 2020, Canad. J. Zool., 98: 495–504, reported on the evolution and causes of variability of advertisement call. Pezzuti, Leite, Rossa-Feres, and Garcia, 2021, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 22 (Special Issue): 1–109, described Pithecopus aff. rohdei larval morphology and natural history.
