Proceratophrys boiei is an endemic cycloramphid anuran inhabiting the leaf litter of Atlantic rainforests in Southeastern Brazil. We analyzed the whole digestive tract of 38 individuals of Proceratophrys boiei collected in two Atlantic Rainforest areas in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to study the diet composition and the helminth fauna associated with this species. The main food items in P. boiei's diet were Coleoptera, Orthoptera and Blattaria. Five nematode species were found: Aplectana delirae, Cosmocerca parva, Oxyascaris oxyascaris, Physaloptera sp. (larval stage only) and an unidentified nematode. Overall prevalence was 71% and mean infection intensity was 7.3 ± 5.8 neatodes per individual.

A New Species

A new species of Cunaxidae, namely Cunaxa bagualensis Wurlitzer & Ferla sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on females and males collected in soil and leaf litter in the Atlantic rainforest biome in a rural forest fragment in Mormaço county, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Additionally, Armascirus livingstoni Laniecka & Kazmierski, 2021 is transferred to Dactyloscirus based on some observations.

A New Species

We describe a new species of Adelophryne for the municipalities of Ilhéus, Itacaré and Una, Bahia state, Brazil (typelocality: Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Nova Angélica, municipality of Una, state of Bahia, Brazil,15º15’03.2” S, 39º04’51.0” W, 79 m elevation). This new species is characterized by having small size, anal flap, andpointed tips of all fingers. The advertisement call consists of a single note with average duration of 29.5 ms (22–34 ms).The new species was found under dense leaf litter in primary and disturbed ombrofilous Atlantic rainforest, but in lower abundance in the latter and exclusively in shaded areas.

In this work, the vertical stratification in Pristimantis species was studied in a remanescent forest dominated by bamboo in the southwest region of the Amazon. The field work was carried out between December 2012 and May 2013. The differences in height of the perch were analyzed interspecifically, and intraspecific in relation to the structure of the vegetation. A total of four species were recorded, Pristimantis fenestratus being the most abundant and occurring in all sampling units. There was significant interspecific difference in perch height, as well as between adults and juveniles. For P. fenestratus, there was no differentiation of segregation between sampling units. The structure of the vegetation did not explain the preference of heights; however, leaf litter depth influenced its vertical stratification. More data and occurrences are needed in all sampling units to infer better explanations.

A New Species

A new species of Cunaxidae, namely Pulaeus mormacensis Wurlitzer & Silva sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on females and males collected in soil and leaf litter in the Atlantic rainforest biome in a rural forest fragment in Mormaço and Putinga municipalities, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. In addition, we report for the first time and illustrate Coleoscirus tuberculatus Den Heyer from Brazil.
