A new species of Paratelmatobius is described from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest in state Paraná southern Brazil. Adults, tadpoles, and vocalizations are described. Morphological traits phylogenetic analysis place within P. cardosoi group. The can be readily distinguished its congeners by advertisement call being composed two note types comprised a series 2-4 notes. classified as an explosive breeder, having reproductive activity strongly associated with heavy rainfall. This discovery...
Members of the Leptodactylus mystaceus species complex are widely distributed in forests and open formations South America east Andes. Species morphologically similar or indistinguishable among each other, but acoustic data have been cornerstone for discrimination across their geographic ranges. In this paper, we re-examine monophyly, diversity, relationships L. on basis morphology, coloration, acoustics, DNA sequences. Morphological color patterns originally used to allocation also...
The genus of Neotropical frogs Pseudopaludicola Miranda-Ribeiro, 1926 includes 23 species, which occur throughout South America. Herein we describe a new species from the central region state Minas Gerais (southeastern Brazil). This is distinguished by adult morphology, advertisement call, and molecular data. It diagnosed mainly its small size, terminal phalanges knobbed (lack any expansion digital tips), proportionally short hind limbs, call composed series two-pulsed notes, emitted at high...
The Neotropical frog genus Pseudopaludicola includes 25 species distributed throughout South America. Herein we review the taxonomic status of P. parnaiba relative to canga and specific identity population treated in previous studies as sp. 3 from Barreirinhas Brazilian state Maranhão. lack differentiation advertisement call, morphology, mitochondrial markers topotypes different populations rejects distinct species. For these reasons, suggest formally consider a junior synonym canga. We also...
Leptodactylid frogs are phenotypically diverse, widely distributed across the Neotropics, and known to harbor high levels of cryptic species diversity. This is especially true in Adenomera, where several candidate have been recognized a genetics-based study. Here we describe new Amazonian which corresponds one lineages previously identified as (“sp. F”). Adenomera phonotriccus, n. sp., differs from all 18 congeners by its unique advertisement call. Moreover, this can be distinguished nearly...
Adenomera simonstuarti is a poorly known species complex inhabiting western Amazonia. Here we reevaluate the diversity within this based on previously documented and newly acquired molecular phenotypic data. We also redescribe calling pattern of nominal original recording (Peru) new (Brazil). Our results indicate eight geographically structured genetic lineages with multi-note call pattern. This first association calls DNA sequence from voucher specimen, thereby enabling assignment A. to one...
The Leptodactylus latrans species group currently comprises eight medium- to large-sized frog with a convoluted taxonomic history, particularly related the specific limits of L. complex, and pair chaquensis–Leptodactylus macrosternum. Their homogeneous external morphology continental geographic distribution in South America have posed severe limitations comprehensive review, such that consensus remain uncertain. This is further worsened by presence chromatic polymorphism among coexisting can...
The outstanding species richness of Amazonia has fascinated biologists for centuries. However, the records actual numbers and distribution forming its ecosystems are so incomplete that understanding historical causes regional determinants this diversity remain speculative. Anuran clades have repeatedly been documented to harbour many unnamed in region, notably Boana albopunctata group. Considering ecology group, we hypothesized it diversified via successive trans-riverine dispersals during...
A new species of Pseudopaludicola is described from the Cerrado southeastern Brazil. The taxon diagnosedfrom P. pusilla group by absence either T-shaped terminal phalanges or toe tips expanded, and promptlydistinguished all (13) recognized taxa currently assigned to possessing isolated (instead regular call series), long (117–187 ms) non-pulsed advertisement calls.
In this paper, we provide a taxonomic circumscription of Adenomera martinezi from its type locality (Cachimbo, southwestern State Pará) since description (57 years ago) based on newly collected series eleven adult topotypes, and through bioacoustic approach, recognize an undescribed cryptic taxon under nominal species, which is widely distributed in central northern Brazil. saci sp. nov. can be diagnosed all congeners by their distinctive 4–6 symmetrically arranged rows longitudinal...
Abstract A large proportion of the biodiversity Amazonia, one most diverse rainforest areas in world, is yet to be formally described. One such case Neotropical frog genus Adenomera. We here evaluate species richness and historical biogeography Adenomera heyeri clade by integrating molecular phylogenetic delimitation analyses with morphological acoustic data. Our results uncovered ten new candidate interfluve-associated distributions across Amazonia. In this study, six these are named The...
We describe a new species of the Bokermannohyla circumdata group from Estação de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Ambi-ental Galheiro (EPDA-Galheiro) (19o 12′S; 47o 08′W), Municipality Perdizes, State Minas Gerais, mid-altitudinal (~ 850m above sea level) riparian forest environment in Cerrado southeastern Brazil. napolii sp. nov. is alliedto large-sized group, diagnosed on basis adult morphology/morphometrics, and mainly vocalizations.Adult specimens are most closely related to those B. luctuosa...
A new species of Pseudopaludicola is described from the Cerrado southeastern Brazil. facureae sp. nov. diagnosed P. pusilla group by absence either T-shaped terminal phalanges or toe tips expanded, and distinguished almost all recognized taxa currently assigned to (except canga, giarettai, hyleaustralis) possessing a non-pulsed advertisement call. However, call consists emission well-defined series, whereas giarettai long (117–187 ms) with an isolated pattern; respecting emits very notes...
In this paper, we provide new bioacoustic and distributional data on Bokermannohyla sapiranga, as well additional comparative topotypes of B. pseudopseudis, re-evaluate the differential diagnosis former species with respect to latter. Head shapes (dorsal lateral views) presented such variation that should not be used differentially diagnose them originally proposed. On other hand, presence a dermal ridge along outer tarsi, color patterns eyes dorsal surface hand/toe disks still represent...
In this paper, we describe two syntopic species of Adenomera from the Chapada dos Veadeiros microregion, northern State Goiás, central Brazil, recognized based on morphology, color patterns, and bioacoustics. Specimens calls were obtained in Municipality Teresina de Brazil. cotuba sp. nov. is diagnosed other 16 congeneric by its 1) small size (adult male SVL 18.6-20.5 mm) very robust body; 2) dorsum glandular/granular with no distinctive dorsal granular rows or dorsolateral folds; 3) black...
We describe a new Amazonian species of Adenomera that corresponds to one the acoustic signals and morphs from Tambopata National Reserve (Adenomera “Forest Call I”) confirmed candidate sp. E) in most recently published phylogeny for genus. The is distinguished all 19 described congeners by its unique advertisement call, consisting single multipulsed note, formed 22–35 partly fused pulses (greatest pulse number recorded genus among with notes). further having toe tips expanded into small...
