Physalaemus aguirrei is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil and occurs in the southern Bahia, northern Espírito Santo and northeastern Minas Gerais.[2] The specific name aguirrei honours Alvaro Coutinho Aguirre, a Brazilian zoologist.[3] However, common name Linhares dwarf frog has been proposed for it.[2][3]
