Comment
Distinguishable from Leptodactylus mystaceus solely by advertisement call, which was detailed, according to the original citation. See Köhler and Lötters, 1999, Bonn. Zool. Beitr., 48: 259-273, for Bolivian record. Duellman, 2005, Cusco Amazonico: 280–282, provided an account (adult and larval morphology, description of the call, life history). França and Venâncio, 2010, Biotemas, 23: 71–84, provided a record for the municipality of Boca do Acre, Amazonas, with a brief discussion of the range. Venâncio, Souza, and França, 2010, Check List, 6: 646-647, provided news record for Acre and Amazonas, Brazil, and provided a range map. In the Leptodactylus fuscus species group, Leptodactylus mystaceus complex, of de Sá, Grant, Camargo, Heyer, Ponssa, and Stanley, 2014, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 9(Spec. Issue 1): 1–123, who provided a summary of the relevant literature of this species (adult morphology, identification, advertisement call, and range) on p. 29. Schulze, Jansen, and Köhler, 2015, Zootaxa, 4016: 70–72, described, diagnosed, and pictured the larva of their Leptodactylus cf didymus from Bolivia. See brief account for the Manu region, Peru, by Villacampa-Ortega, Serrano-Rojas, and Whitworth, 2017, Amph. Manu Learning Cent.: 224–225.
