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. Zaracho and Kokubum, 2017, Salamandra, 53: 1–9, reported on larval morphology and reproduction. See comment under Adenomera.
