Class: Amphibia > Order: Anura > Family: Leptodactylidae > Subfamily: Leptodactylinae > Genus: Adenomera > Species: Adenomera diptyx

Leptodactylus diptyx Boettger, 1885, Z. Naturwiss., Halle, 58: 244. Types: Not designated, but SMF and BMNH (1947.2.17.47–78, formerly numbered 1885.9.1.16–17, by museum records), according to Heyer, 1973, Contrib. Sci. Nat. Hist. Mus. Los Angeles Co., 251: 26, who designated BMNH 1947.2.17.47 lectotype. Type locality: "Paraguay, Amer. merid."

Leptodactylus glandulosus Cope, 1887, Proc. Am. Philos. Soc., 24: 52. Syntypes: ANSP 11271–84, according to Malnate, 1971, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 123: 350; ANSP 10275 (now renumbered 11275) designated lectotype by Heyer, 1973, Contrib. Sci. Nat. Hist. Mus. Los Angeles Co., 251: 27. Type locality: "at or near . . . . Chupada [= Chapada dos Guimarães], thirty miles north-east of Cuyabá, and near the headwaters of the Xingu, an important tributary of the Amazon", Mato Grosso, Brazil. Synonymy with Leptodactylus diptyx by Boulenger, 1888, Zool. Rec., 24: 31; Boulenger, 1888, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 6, 1: 187; Nieden, 1923, Das Tierreich, 46: 484. Synonymy with Adenomera hylaedactyla by Heyer, 1973, Contrib. Sci. Nat. Hist. Mus. Los Angeles Co., 251: 35.

Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Adenomera hylaedactyla by De la Riva, 1996, J. Herpetol., 30: 557, where it had been placed by Heyer, 1973, Contrib. Sci. Nat. Hist. Mus. Los Angeles Co., 251: 35. See discussion of nomenclature and confusion in the literature by Lavilla and Cei, 2001, Monogr. Mus. Reg. Sci. Nat. Torino, 28: 74–75. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 15, briefly discussed the range in Paraguay. Weiler, Núñez, Airaldi, Lavilla, Peris, and Baldo, 2013, Anf. Paraguay: 86, provided a brief account, image, and dot map for Paraguay. Zaracho and Kokubum, 2017, Salamandra, 53: 1–9, reported on larval morphology and reproduction. See comment under Adenomera. Segalla, Berneck, Canedo, Caramaschi, Cruz, Garcia, Grant, Haddad, Lourenço, Mângia, Mott, Nascimento, Toledo, Werneck, and Langone, 2021, Herpetol. Brasil., 10: 185, included this as part of the Brazilian fauna but did not point to specimens or literature.
