Leptodactylus furnarius Sazima and Bokermann, 1978 (Figure 1) belongs to the Leptodactylus fuscus species group (Frost 2007), which contains species that build underground chambers to lay eggs in foam nests (Giaretta and Kokubum 2004). Males vocalize on wet ground and shallow water bodies where low and sparse vegetation grows or inside the chambers, near to their foam nests (Achaval and Olmos 2003; Eterovick and Sazima 2004).
