Eupsophus versus

[substitute name for
Eupsophus verrucosus
MirandaRibeiro, 1937
, preoccupied in
Eupsophus
by
Borborocoetes verrucosus
Philippi
(=
Eupsophus nodosus

)].
Additionally, we examined and compared the specimens of
Eleutherodactylus verrucosus
with
Eleutherodactylus juipoca
Sazima and Cardoso
(MNRJ 4103,
holotype
) and
Eleutherodactylus octavioi
Bokermann
(MZUSP 73670,
holotype
), both species from Southeastern
Brazil
and thought to be related to
E. verrucosus
(
Lynch, 1972
;
Sazima and Cardoso, 1978
). The three species are perfectly distinguishable, and we consider them valid taxa.
