Type locality . Argentina and Bolivia . Remarks . Torres (1961a) synomymized this species with P. bergi . This was probably due to the fact that the specimens examined were collected in a zone of overlap where the two species co-occur. The type specimen of P. bufo in the BMNH is morphologically distinct from the type of P. bergi . The two species also differ in their distribution and physiology ( Sanborn et al. 1995b ) and were considered to be separate species. Although the species was reported from Buenos Aires , Córdoba , Chaco , Formosa , La Pampa , La Rioja , Santa Fe , San Luis , Salta , Santiago del Estero , and Tucumán Provinces ( Torres 1946 ; Hayward 1942 ; 1960 ; Bolcatto et al. 2006 ; De Santis et al. 2007 ), we determined P. bufo generally has a more southern and eastern range species than P. bergi . We collected specimens from Córdoba , Entre Rios and San Luis Provinces. The species is associated with the Espinal and Pampas floristic provinces ( Sanborn et al. 2011a ). New provincial records.
