| Comment: The species name is Latin for oven; Sazima and Bokermann 1978 gave the name in reference to the clay-oven shaped incubating chamber of the species. Oven frog has been used historically for L. bufonius and L. latinasus. The Campo Grande frog refers to the type locality, but the species has a much broader distribution than the region around the type locality. The species occurs extensively in the cerrados of Brasil, although it also occurs in biomes adjacent to the extensive Cerrado Morphoclimatic Domain. |
