Comment

In the Pseudopaludicola pusilla group according to the original publication. Cardozo and Suárez, 2012, Zootaxa, 3515: 75-82, rejected membership in the Pseudopaludicola pusilla group on the basis of morphology, although in their tree, it was part of a paraphyletic series, including Pseudopaludicola canga and Pseudopaludicola mysticalis leading to the Pseudopaludicola pusilla group. Araujo de Oliveira, Hernández-Ruz, Carvalho, and Sanches, 2013, Herpetol. Rev., 44: 104, provided a second locality for this species in Pará, Brazil. Roberto, Cardozo, and Ávila, 2013, Zootaxa, 3636: 349, in the publication naming Pseudopaludicola parnaiba described external morphology and the advertisement call. Carvalho, Teixeira, Borges-Martins, and Giaretta, 2015, North-West. J. Zool., Romania, 11: 262–273, suggested that on the basis of morphology and acoustic characteristics that this species is not diagnosable from Pseudopaludicola parnaiba but provided the record for Palmas e Mateiros, Tocantins, Brazil, and doubted the record from the Municipality of Brasil Novo. Andrade, Ferreira, Takazone, Libório, and Weber, 2018, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 13: 64–72, reported on larval morphology. Silva, Carvalho, Pereira Silva, Fadel, Dantas, Brandão, and Santana, 2020, Biota Neotrop., 20 (1: e20190838): 15, reported the species from the state of Tocantins, Brazil.
