SANTA FE WEEPING FROG Physalaemus santafecinus
Documented in Paraguay for the first time in 2009, this little Physalaemus is currently known only from the rarely-explored department of Ñeembucú. It closely resembles the similar Marbled Weeping Frog, but is smaller than that species and has an allopatric distribution. Unlike many species of Physalaemus, the call is a "bark" rather than a "weep."
