| Sumario: | During 1956 and 1965 years the paleontologists Osvaldo A. Reig and Rodolfo M. Casamiquela published a series of contributions about fossil anurans that have a deep impact on the paleontological community. Their works included the description of a large diverse array of extinct South American anurans as well as, the oldest finding of anurans along the world. With this background, Reig and Casamiquela quizzed the main classificatory schemes of the epoch and even questioned the Holarcticistic paradigm for the distribution of living organisms. These authors were probably the first investigators outside “scientific centers” in opposing, with some successfulness, to the biogeographic ideas dominant at that time. |
