Gymnodactylus mattogrossensis Berg (Kluge 1964) |

Remarks:
The taxonomic history of this species has been confused.
It has been treated as a valid species (e.g., Kluge 1964; Pincheira-Donoso 2002) or as a synonym of fasciata (e.g., Trutnau, Monzel & Consul 2016).
Confirmed as a valid species by Cacciali, Morando, Medina, Köhler, Motte & Avila (2017).
Previously reported from Brazil based on the type locality ("Mato Grosso") of mattogrossensis, which at the time of the description referred to a
much larger region than today, however, Kluge (1964) believed the type to have come from the current state of Mato Grosso.
Costa & Bérnils (2018), however, did not regard the species as occurring in Brazil.
Records from Bolivia refer to septentrionalis (Cacciali, Morando, Medina, Köhler, Motte & Avila 2017).
Cabral & Cacciali (2021) showed no localities outside Argentina in their distribution map.
Distribution:
Argentina,
Paraguay.
