Comment

Considered a junior synonym of Pseudopaludicola ameghini by Bokermann, 1966, Lista Anot. Local. Tipo Anf. Brasil.: 88, without comment. Lobo, 1996, Acta Zool. Lilloana, 43: 327–346, recharacterized the species. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 18, briefly discussed the range in Paraguay. Caramaschi and Pombal, 2011, Zootaxa, 3051: 62–64, discussed the type series. Cardozo and Baldo, 2012, Zootaxa, 3192: 67–68, discussed the issue of multiple lectotypes for the species. Fávero, Veiga-Menoncello, Rossa-Feres, Strüssmann, Giaretta, Andrade, Colombo, and Recco-Pimentel, 2011, Zool. Stud., Taipei, 50: 826–836, reported on karyology. Cardozo and Toledo, 2013, Zootaxa, 3734: 571–582, discussed external morpolology and advertisement call and species diagnosis. Weiler, Núñez, Airaldi, Lavilla, Peris, and Baldo, 2013, Anf. Paraguay: 112, provided a brief account, image, and dot map for Paraguay. Andrade, Haga, Bang, and Giaretta, 2017, Zootaxa, 4319: 391–400, provided diagnostic differences in calls between Pseudopaludicola ternetzi and Pseudopaludicola ameghini. Vaz-Silva, Maciel, Nomura, Morais, Guerra Batista, Santos, Andrade, Oliveira, Brandão, and Bastos, 2020, Guia Ident. Anf. Goiás e Dist. Fed.
