Resumo

The Menwig Frog, Physalaemus albonotatus (Steindachner, 1864), is found in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil, in Paraguay, and in the Chacoan regions of Bolivia and Argentina (Frost 2018).In Argentina, this species inhabits the provinces of Buenos Aires, Chaco, Corrientes, Entre Rios, Formosa, Misiones and Santa Fe (Vaira et al. 2012).Its microhabitat includes vegetation along the shores of temporary or permanent bodies of water; however, these anurans also are found in dry terrestrial environments.Numerically, isopterans are most common in the frog's diet, but volumetrically, ants predominate.Physalaemus albonotatus actively forages for prey (Duré 2004).
