Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Pseudopaludicola mysticalis on the basis of karyology by Fávero, Veiga-Menoncello, Rossa-Feres, Strüssmann, Giaretta, Andrade, Colombo, and Recco-Pimentel, 2011, Zool. Stud., Taipei, 50: 826-836, where it had been placed by Haddad and Cardoso, 1987, Pap. Avulsos Zool., São Paulo, 36: 287-300. Discussed (as Pseudopaludicola ameghini) by Cei and Roig, 1961, Not. Biol. Fac. Cienc. Exact. Fis. Nat., Corrientes, Zool., 1: 32-34, and Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 412-414, who had removed it from the synonymy of Pseudopaludicola falcipes. Pansonato, Strüssmann, Mudrek, and Martins, 2013, Zootaxa, 3620: 147–162, provided morphometric and acoustic data in support of the distinctiveness of this species. Roberto, Cardozo, and Ávila, 2013, Zootaxa, 3636: 348–360, suggested that this species remains undiagnosed in practice. Andrade, Haga, Bang, and Giaretta, 2017, Zootaxa, 4319: 391-400, provided diagnostic differences in calls between Pseudopaludicola ternetzi and Pseudopaludicola ameghini. Simioni, Alves, Picheli, Pansonato, Rossa-Feres, and Strüssmann: 41–42, reported on reproductive behavior and larval morphology.
