Comment
In the Physalaemus cuvieri group of Nascimento, Caramaschi, and Cruz, 2005, Arq. Mus. Nac., Rio de Janeiro, 63: 308. Considered by Nieden, 1923, Das Tierreich, 46: 505, to be a junior synonym of Physalaemus signifera, and a junior synonym of Physalaemus cuvieri by Parker, 1927, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 9, 20: 461, it was resurrected by Bokermann, 1966, Rev. Brasil. Biol., 26: 253–259. Annunziata, Castro, Fontenele, and Cisne, 2009, Herpetol. Rev., 40: 362, provided a record for Piauí, Brazil, and commented on the range. Gally and Zina, 2013, J. Nat. Hist., London, 47: 1627–1644, reported on vocalizations and reproductive behavior. In the Physalaemus cuvieri clade, Physalaemus cuvieri species group, of Lourenço, Targueta, Baldo, Nascimento, Garcia, Andrade, Haddad, and Recco-Pimentel, 2015, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 92: 204–216. Hepp and Pombal, 2020, Zootaxa, 4725: 1–106, discussed this species as part of a genus-wide discussion of bioacoustical traits among the species.
