Distribution: Southeastern Bolivia, from Eastern Brazil to Uruguay and throughout Paraguay to Argentina.

Habitat: Open formations to the edges of riparian and gallery forests, savannas, fields, pastures, meadows, and swamps. This species is very general in the use of habitats, adapting quickly to man-modified environments.

Habits: Crepuscular, nocturnal, terrestrial, and aquatic. Often found in savannas, fields, pastures, and meadows and marshes with shorter than average vegetation (grasses and herbaceous plants).

Diet: Small insects and arthropods.

Breeding: Oviparous, building nests in mud, where it secretes a foam and lays 400-500 eggs. Males vocalize on the ground, hidden among the undergrowth, and, usually, in floodplains. Singing begins before dusk, but never in a chorus. Tadpoles depend high temperatures to develop.

UFRA: Species considered infrequent and sighted in Organic Sugarcane Fields, Wetlands with Herbaceous Plants, Wetlands with Riparian Forests, Drainage Ditches, Woods in Spontaneous Regeneration and Fields in Spontaneous Regeneration.
