A New Species

Hemiphractidae contains five genera (Frost 2011; Duellman et al. 2011), of which Gastrotheca Fitzinger is the most diverse with 60 species in Central and South America. Eight species of Gastrotheca occur in eastern and southeastern Brazil (Izecksohn et al. 2009; Frost 2011). According to Caramaschi and Rodrigues (2007) a comprehensive analyses of phylogenetic relationships between species of Gastrotheca from the Atlantic Rain Forest of Brazil still remains to be done. Thus, they separated the species of this genus in three phenetic assemblages, of which Gastrotheca fissipes is placed alone in a group. According to Duellman (1984) the distribution of Gastrotheca fissipes ranges from the state of Pernambuco to Espírito Santo. Recently, Izeckson et al. (2009) suggested that the species formerly known as G. fissipes represented two distinct species. They described G. megacephala as a new species occurring from Espírito Santo to southern Bahia and restricted G. fissipes to occur only at the type locality, Igarassú, Pernambuco. In the present study we describe the advertisement call of G. fissipes and compare it with the advertisement call of G. megacephala. Additionally we provide new data on its geographical distribution.

Abstract— A new species of Phyllanthus with phylloclades endemic to the State of Bahia is described here. Phyllanthus dracaenoides can be recognized for its peculiar habit that resembles a species of Dracaena, a very unusual height of up to 7 m, the plagiotropic phylloclades spirally arranged, and its vermiform cincinni. Notes on its habitat, taxonomic affinity, conservation status, geographic distribution, illustrations, and photographs are provided.

Adults and tadpoles of a new species of the genus Leptodactylus are described from southeastern Brazil. Leptodactylus thomei sp.nov. can be found amidst the leaf litter within cocoa plantations along the northern coastal region of the state of Espírito Santo. It can be distinguished from other species of the Leptodactylus marmoratus group by its advertisement call, which is described, together with agonistic calls, and compared to advertisement calls of other species of the group that occur in southern and southeastern Brazil. The systematics of associated populations is discussed.

A New Species

We describe a new species of hylid frog, Scinax peixotoi, from Queimada Grande Island, southeastern Brazil. The new species belongs to the Scinax perpusillus species group, in which all known forms inhabit bromeliads, and is diagnosed by the following set of characters: moderate-size (males 18.8–20.7 mm SVL, females 22.4–25.1 mm SVL); canthus rostralis distinct; dorsal skin slightly rugose; and a distinct advertisement call with relatively low dominant frequency. The new species is known from a single population on Queimada Grande, an island of 43 ha, approximately 33 km distant from the coast of São Paulo State, where it inhabits scattered patches of bromeliads. The highly specialized and patchy habitat of S. peixotoi, associated with its small range size, make this species highly susceptible to stochastic or anthropogenic habitat disturbances, which could lead it to extinction.
