Comment

Distinguishable reliably by call but not morphology from Pseudopaludicola facureae, Pseudopaludicola hylaeaustralis, Pseudopaludicola mineira, Pseudopaludicola mysticalis, Pseudopaludicola parnaiba, and Pseudopaludicola ternetzi according to the original publication, where external morphology and advertisement call were described. Andrade, Barros, Oliveira, Juncá, and Magalhães, 2015, Herpetol. Notes, 8: 227–229, reported the species from Sítio Santa Luzia, municipality of Carlos Chagas, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Silva, Lima, Santos, Souza, and Pederassi, 2015, Herpetol. Rev., 46: 213, provided a record for Fronteiras, Piauí, Brazil. Lantyer-Silva, Matos, Gogliath, Marciano, and Nicola, 2016, Check List, 12(6: Art. 1989): 1–4, provided additional records for Paraíba and Pernambuco, Brazil, described the advertisement call, and discussed the range. Andrade, Leite, Carvalho, Bernardes, and Giaretta, 2017, Check List, 13(1: 2047): 1–4, provided a record from Bahia, northeastern Brazil, and described the advertisement call. Andrade, Haga, Lyra, Leite, Kwet, Haddad, Toledo, and Giaretta, 2018, Zootaxa, 4433: 71–100, reported the species from Chapada Diamantina region of Bahia, Brazil. Pereira Silva, Folly, Rebouças, and Santana, 2018, Herpetol. Notes, 11: 1055–1059, detailed the advertisement call and provided a dot map of the distribution as well as range extensions southern Bahia and eastern Minas Gerais. See Dubeux, Nascimento, Lima, Magalhães, Silva, Gonçalves, Almeida, Correia, Garda, Mesquita, Rossa-Feres, and Mott, 2020, Biota Neotrop., 20 (2: e20180718): 1–24, for characterization and identification of larvae north of the Rio São Francisco in the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil. Palmeira, Gonçalves, Dubeux, Lima, Lambertini, Valencia-Aguilar, Jenkinson, James, Toledo, and Mott, 2022, Cuad. Herpetol., 36: 65–75, reported on habitat in Natural Heritage Reserve Mata Estrela, Baía Formosa, Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil.
