Remarks: Physalaemus enesefae Heatwole, Solano and Heatwole, 1965 is a junior synonym of P. fischeri . However, P. fisheri lacks a specific type locality and is likely a species complex ( Tárano and Ryan 2002; Lourenço et al. 2015). Its complex call is well-studied ( Tárano 2001, 2002, 2010; Tárano and Herrera 2003; Tárano and Ryan 2002). In Physalaemus cuvieri species group of Lourenço et al. (2015).
