Comment
Vieira, Arzabe, and Vieira, 2006, Check List, 2: 55-56, provided the record for Paraíba, Brazil. Confused with Leptodactylus latinasus prior to its description. Magalhães, Garda, Amado, and de Sá, 2013, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 8: 203–210, reported on larval morphology. In the Leptodactylus fuscus species group of de Sá, Grant, Camargo, Heyer, Ponssa, and Stanley, 2014, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 9(Spec. Issue 1): 1–123, who provided a brief account (adult and larval morphology, identification, advertisement call, and range) on p. 25–26. 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. Dubeux, Gonçalves, Palmeira, Vieira, Lobo-Araújo, Mott, and Magalhães, 2023, Herpetol.
