Proceratophrys Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920 currently comprises 40 species (Frost 2017) of which 15 are allocated into the Proceratophrys cristiceps species group (sensu Brandão et al. 2013). The species in this group are characterized by the absence of postocular swellings and, except for P. concavitympanum, are found in seasonally open habitats in Brazilian Cerrado and Caatinga morphoclimatic domains (Giaretta et al. 2000; Ávila et al. 2012; Teixeira Jr. et al. 2012; Brandão et al. 2013). Information on advertisement calls is available for 11 species of the group (Eterovick & Sazima 1998; Nunes & Juncá 2006; Brasileiro et al. 2008; Santana et al. 2010; Ávila et al. 2012; Martins & Giaretta 2011; 2012; 2013; Ferreira et al. 2016). Proceratophrys branti Brandão, Carmaschi, Vaz-Silva & Campos, 2013 has been recently described and allocated in the P. cristiceps species group. The species occurs in open areas in the north-central portion of the Brazilian Cerrado, in the states of Goiás, Minas Gerais and Tocantins (Brandão et al. 2013). Herein we describe for the first time its advertisement call, based on recordings made in an area of Cerrado biome in the state of Tocantins.

The advertisement call of two species of the Rhinella granulosa group (Anura: Bufonidae). The group of Rhinella granulosa presently harbors 14 species distributed in Central and South America. The advertisement calls of 12 species have been described. Herein, we provide data on the calls of R. granulosa and R. merianae recorded in populations far from locations of previous call descriptions, and we discuss possible causes of differences found. We used recordings of R. granulosa from the interior of Bahia State and recordings of R. merianae from Roraima. For both, calls consist of a long-lasting trill of four-pulsed notes. Rhinella granulosa calls last 3.7–9.6 s, have 121–283 notes, each lasting 19–25 ms released at a rate of 29.2–34.7/s, and with dominant frequency peaking between 2472–2809 Hz. Rhinella merianae calls last 4.0–7.1, have 153–217 notes, each lasting 17–20 ms, released at a rate of 37.7–39.5/s, and with dominant frequency peaking between 2959–3189 Hz. Both species are distinguished from most other species of the R. granulosa species group by the combination of pulse number and dominant frequency. Our data on R. granulosa differed (p < 0.05) in call duration and/or in dominant frequency from specimens from Natal (Rio Grande do Norte state) and Cabaceiras (Paraíba state). Our data on R. merianae appear to differ in dominant frequency from the only call (a single male) known from the Amazon River bank. The differences we found between our data and published call data suggest that further study of calls of additional populations of these species is warranted.

Proceratophrys dibernardoi Brandão, Caramaschi, Vaz-Silva & Campos 2013 has recently been described and allocated into the P. cristiceps species group, but no information about its advertisement calls has been provided (Brandão et al. 2013). Here, we describe for the first time the advertisement calls of P. dibernardoi based on specimens from Central Brazil. We also expand P. dibernardoi´s geographic distribution by reporting a new population in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, constituting the westernmost record for this species, and extending its known range approximately 330 km westward of the municipality of Aporé, State of Goiás (P. dibernardoi´s former westernmost record).

A New Species

We describe a new species of Ololygon from the Cerrado biome, Central Brazil. The new species is assigned to the Ololygon catharinae species group based in morphological attributes. Ololygon goya sp. nov. in known only from type locality—Sítio d’Abadia municipality, State of Goiás—and associated with riparian environments connected to seasonal dry forest on the banks of the Corrente river, a tributary of the Paranã river basin. The new species is characterized by the combination of the following characters: medium size (24.4–38.8 mm SVL); snout subovoid in dorsal view; canthus rostralis well defined; males with hypertrophied forearms and nuptial pads; inguinal region and hidden surfaces of thigh with irregular dark brown spots on pale yellowish background. We also describe the external morphology and oral morphology of tadpoles, and the advertisement calls of the new species.

A New Species

A new species of Pseudopaludicola is described from the Cerrado of southeastern Brazil. The new taxon is diagnosedfrom the P. pusilla species group by the absence of either T-shaped terminal phalanges or toe tips expanded, and promptlydistinguished from all (13) recognized taxa currently assigned to Pseudopaludicola by possessing isolated (instead of regular call series), long (117–187 ms) and non-pulsed advertisement calls.

The Central American frogs of the genus Craugastor consist of 113 species (Hedges et al. 2008; Frost 2011). Craugastor gollmeri (Peters) occurs in lowland to highland forests of central Panama, the Caribbean versant of western Panama and eastern Costa Rica, even extending into the Pacific versant in northwestern Costa Rica, within an altitudinal distribution range of 10–1520 m (Savage 2002). At some localities, C. gollmeri has been found to be an usual to common forest species, being primarily a diurnal species that inhabits leaf-litter on the forest floor (Ibáñez et al. 1995; Savage 2002). The snout-vent length (SVL) of adult frogs is 30–36.5 mm in males and 45–54 mm in females (Savage 1987). The males of gollmeri species group lack vocal slits and vocal sac (Savage 1987), and seem incapable of producing vocalizations (Savage 2002). Nonetheless, here we describe the vocalizations given by a male of C. gollmeri in captivity, considered to be advertisement calls (sensu Wells 1977). The role of advertisement calls in species recognition and reproductive isolation has been well established (Wells 2007), hence, the relevance of call characters in anuran phylogenetic and systematic studies (e.g., Hoskin 2004).

A New Species

The Rhinella granulosa species group was taxonomically reviewed by Gallardo (1965) and most recently by Narvaes and Rodrigues (2009). This last review recognized twelve species (Rhinella granulosa, R. pygmaea, R. bergi, R. major, R. mirandaribeiroi, R. azarai, R. nattereri, R. fernandezae, R. dorbignyi, R. merianae, R. humboldti, R. centralis) distributed along the open habitats of South America and Panama (Narvaes & Rodrigues, 2009). Recently, a new species (R. bernardoi) was described from San Juan province, in Argentina (Sanabria et al., 2010). Both revisions and the description paper were based on morphological and morphometric characteristics. Despite the relevance of acoustic parameters in anuran taxonomy, the advertisement call of only one species of the R. granulosa group has been formally described. Köhler et al. (1997) described the vocalization of Rhinella major from Bolivia, considered at that moment as the subspecies Bufo granulosus mini. Herein we describe the advertisement call of Rhinella granulosa, a species occurring in the Caatinga domain of northeastern Brazil according to Narvaes and Rodriguez (2009).

Most species of the South American bufonid toads are placed in Rhinella Fitzinger, 1828 (Frost 2009). Currently, this genus contains 77 species and most of them are distributed in Central and South America (Frost 2009). According to Baldissera et al. (2004), the R. crucifer species group is composed of five species: R. abei (Baldissera, Caramaschi & Haddad, 2004), R. crucifer (Wied-Neuwied, 1821), R. henseli (A. Lutz, 1934), R. ornata (Spix, 1824), and R. pombali (Baldissera, Caramaschi & Haddad, 2004). This species group is widely distributed in northern Argentina, southeastern Brazil, and Uruguay (Baldissera et al. 2004; Frost 2009), and can be found in ponds and streams in forests and open areas (Heyer et al. 1990; Baldissera et al. 2004; Pombal & Gordo 2004; Eterovick & Barata 2006). Herein we describe the tadpole and advertisement call of Rhinella pombali, a species distributed throughout the Atlantic forest and in its transitional areas with the Cerrado in the State of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil (Frost 2009).
