The genus of Neotropical frogs Pithecopus includes 11 species occurring east the Andes from southern Venezuela to northern Argentina. Recent genetic approaches pointed out an unusual diversity among populations localities in north-eastern Brazil recognized as P. nordestinus. In fact, one these studies confirmed hypothesis that São Francisco River acted effective geographical barrier during vicariant events evolutionary history nordestinus, resulting two principal, highly divergent clades....
We describe the external morphology, internal oral anatomy, and chondrocranium of Pseudopaludicola canga. The tadpole is diagnosed by following combined characters: elliptic body, reniform nostril, dorsal fin starting at body-tail junction labial tooth row formula 2(2)/2(1) presenting two lateral gaps in marginal papillae lower lip. Regarding cavity, there a pattern similarity some characters among three species genus for which structure has been described; however, P. canga can be...
Corythomantis greeningi is a casque-headed frog that occurs in xeric and sub-humid regions of northeastern Brazil. Individuals are often found on rocks banks temporary streams or ponds upon “lajedos”. Suctorial tadpoles clasping to the so as not be dragged by current; therefore, they have modified external internal morphology. Here, we describe oral anatomy chondrocranium tadpole C. compare it available descriptions Lophyohylinae other suctorial tadpoles. The morphology resembles...
The external morphology, internal oral the chondrocranium and hyobranchial apparatus of Elachistocleis bumbameuboi, E. cf. piauiensis, cesarii bicolor are described compared with each other species microhylids using available descriptions from literature. general morphology is conservative in many aspects. Differences between subtle found body shape, edge snout, fin height, if lateral line evident, presence regular pustules buccal roof arena, posterolateral cartilago suprarostralis, shape...
We describe the internal oral morphology and chondrocranial anatomy for Boana crepitans tadpoles, compare them with available descriptions other species in subfamily Cophomantinae. Among of faber group, has been reported only one cranial are similar to described B. lacks unique features cavity chondrocranium that would distinguish it from congeneric species. identify six characters tadpoles In addition, infralabial papillae projections, buccal floor arena papillae, lateral ridge projections...
