| Comment: Heyer (1974) proposed the new genus Vanzolinius for the single species Leptodactylus discodactylus Boulenger, 1883. Acceptance of the genus Vanzolinius has not been universally accepted by the scientific community since about 2000. De Sá, Heyer, & Camargo (in press, Arquivos do Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro) formally proposed the return of the species to the genus Leptodactylus. |
