REVIEW OF NON-CITES AMPHIBIA SPECIES THAT ARE KNOWN OR LIKELY TO BE IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE AMPHIBIA: LEPTODACTYLIDAE SPECIES: Chacophrys pierottii SYNONYMS: COMMON NAMES: RANGE STATES: IUCN RED LIST: PREVIOUS EC OPINIONS: Chaco Horned Frog (English) Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay Least Concern n/a TRADE PATTERNS: It was reported to be occasionally available in the pet trade and described as a “delightful, easily maintained captive” by Barlett & Barlett (2000). Interest in getting individuals of this species was expressed by one person on www.caudata.org in 2003. It was advertised for sale on the French website www.lafermetropicale.com, retailing at €60, although it was shown as “unavailable”. It was also on the list of species of the French hobbyist website http://gutt.sg.free.fr/galerie_amph%20gre.htm. CONSERVATION STATUS in range states IUCN et al. (2007) reported: “It is not well known from Bolivia and Paraguay, but the Argentinean populations appear to be large and widespread. This species is rarely seen except when juveniles leave ponds where they develop…… It is collected for the international pet trade, and subject to heavy collecting during the breeding season. It is threatened in Argentina by the destruction of Chaco habitat for agriculture and wood extraction, land and water pollution caused by agrochemical runoff”. Considered to be a rare species, with fragmented populations and little known in terms of its status and biology (TNC, 2005). ARGENTINA: According to Frost (2007), the species occurs in salt flats in Chaco, Córdoba, Salta, Santiago del Estero, San Luis, and Rioja provinces in northern Argentina. APN (2007) reported the species to occur in the provinces of Formosa, Chaco, Santiago del Estero, La Rioja, and salt flats of Córdoba It occurs in the Chancani Provincial Reserve, the Formosa Natural Reserve, Teuquito Multiple Use Reserve in Argentina (IUCN et al., 2007). Very little information is available on C. pierottii in Argentina (Vaira, pers. comm. 2007). It is a very cryptic species that inhabits harsh and little-known habitats, which may lead to underestimation of its population size, although some researchers were able to collect a high number of individuals by being in the right place at the right time (Vaira, pers. comm. 2007). It was considered to be “Non-Threatened” by the Argentinean Herpetological Society (Lavilla et al., 2000; APN, 2007). 41
