Comment
Formerly in the synonymy of Leptodactylus latrans according to Gallardo, 1964, Physis, Buenos Aires, 24: 373–384, and Lavilla, 1994 "1992", Acta Zool. Lilloana, 42: 87, the name was recently applied by Magalhães, Lyra, Carvalho, Baldo, Brusquetti, Burella, Colli, Gehara, Giaretta, Haddad, Langone, López, Napoli, Santana, de Sá, and Garda, 2020, Herpetol. Monogr., 34: 150, to their Leptodactylus aff. latrans CS2 lineage, for which they characterized its morphology, call, and geographic distribution. See account of nominal Leptodactylus latrans (now Leptodactylus luctator at this geographic site) by Heyer, Rand, Cruz, Peixoto, and Nelson, 1990, Arq. Zool., São Paulo, 31: 309–310. This species (as Leptodactylus latrans) was recorded for Bolivia by De la Riva and Maldonado-M., 1999, Graellsia, 55: 193–197. Achaval and Olmos, 2003, Anf. Rept. Uruguay, ed. 2: 25, provided for the Uruguayan population (as Leptodactylus latrans) a brief account and photograph. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 14, briefly discussed (as Leptodactylus latrans) the range in Paraguay. Weiler, Núñez, Airaldi, Lavilla, Peris, and Baldo, 2013, Anf. Paraguay: 95, provided a brief account (as Leptodactylus latrans), image, and dot map for Paraguay. Ferraro, Blotto, Baldo, Barrasso, Barrionuevo, Basso, Cardozo, Cotichelli, Faivovich, Pereyra, and Lavilla, 2018, in Vaira, Akmentins, and Lavilla (eds.), Cuad. Herpetol., 32 (Supl. 1): 17–19, noted that the taxonomic status of Leptodactylus latrans in Argentina remains problematic (note that nominal Leptodactylus latrans in Argentina and Paraguay is now Leptodactylus luctator). Vaz-Silva, Maciel, Nomura, Morais, Guerra Batista, Santos, Andrade, Oliveira, Brandão, and Bastos, 2020, Guia Ident. Anf. Goiás e Dist. Fed. Brasil Central: 115–116, provided an account (as Leptodactylus latrans). Pezzuti, Leite, Rossa-Feres, and Garcia, 2021, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 22 (Special Issue): 1–109, described and discussed larval morphology and natural history. Magalhães, Camurugi, Lyra, Baldo, Gehara, Haddad, and Garda, 2022, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 169 (107398): 1–15, reported on systematics, evolutionary history, and range. Santos, Feio, and Nomura, 2023, Biota Neotrop., 23 (3:e20231486): 1–43, characterized tadpole morphology as part of an identification key to the tadpoles of the Brazilian Cerrado. Vicente-Ferreira, Nascimento, Batista, Kardush, Reyes, and Garey, 2024, Biota Neotrop., 24(1: e20231526): 1–17, provided records from the Refúgio Biológico Bela Vista, Paraná, southern Brazil (adjacent to the Paraguay border), as well as providing identification keys to these species based on larval and adult morphology.
