Remarks:
This species has a disjunct distribution, widely separated by the Amazon Basin.
De la Riva et al. (2000)
suggested this greatly disjunct distribution likely indicates at least two distinct species.
Myers and Donnelly (2001)
presumed that Venezuelan populations correspond to two species. In
Pseudopaludicola pusilla
species group of Lynch (1989).
