FAIVOVICH, Julián e ELIAS-COSTA, Agustín J. Hylid or microhylid?: No evidence for the occurrence of Trachycephalus mesophaeus (Anura, Hylidae) in Argentina. Rev. Mus. Argent. Cienc. Nat. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.1, pp.1-6. ISSN 1853-0400.
A recent publication reported the Atlantic Forest endemic hylid Trachycephalus mesophaeus for the Chacoan ecoregion in Argentina. In this paper, we analyzed the voucher specimen and showed that it is a misidentified specimen of the Asiatic microhylid Kaloula pulchra, a species commonly commercialized in the pet trade worldwide. Therefore, there is no evidence for the occurrence of T. mesophaeus in Argentina.
