We report a female Physalaemus soaresi Izecksohn, 1965 collected at the Atlantic rainforest of Serra do Mendanha, municipality of Rio de Janeiro, state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. Known only from two localities (and probably extinct in one), P. soaresi is considered a threatened species in Brazil and presumably threatened in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Despite the new record, P. soaresi still fits into the status of endangered and requires the full protection of all areas where it occurs.

In this study we report the first record of the giant torrent frog Megaelosia apuana in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. The finding of this species at Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) Mata do Sossego, municipality of Simonésia, east of Minas Gerais extends its geographic distribution by 120 km from the type locality, and 45 km northwest from its westernmost known record. A geographic distribution map is presented.

The genus Xenohyla is currently composed of two species, X. truncata (Izecksohn, 1959) and Xenohyla eugenioi Caramaschi, 1998. Both species are usually found inside bromeliads; X. truncata inhabits the restingas of the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil, and X. eugenioi transitional areas between the Atlantic Forest and the Caatinga biomes in northeastern Brazil. We report the first record of X. eugenioi in the state of Sergipe, expanding the species geographic distribution by 423.4 km in a straight line in relation to its type locality, in the municipality of Maracás, south-central state of Bahia, Brazil.

We present the first record of Urostrophus vautieri for the state of Espírito Santo and a distribution map for the species. This species was previoulsy known from the states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. The present record represent an extension of nearly 200 km to the North from the nearest published record for the species.

Microcaecilia taylori is known to occur from the Guianan region to south of the Amazon in the state of Pará, Brazil. Here we provide a new locality record for the species, east of the Tocantins River, 190 km from the nearest record. The specimen was active under the leaf litter in daylight and is the largest specimen of M. taylori recorded to date.

We describe, illustrate and compare three new Brazilian species of Senegalia from the Atlantic Forest domain: Senegalia atlantica, from Rio de Janeiro State; Senegalia rafinesqueana, from the state of Paraná; and Senegalia cupuliformis, from Bahia State. These species are morphologically most similar to S. tenuifolia and S. multipinnata, S. velutina, and S. kuhlmannii, respectively. Additionally, we provide an identification key to all Senegalia species that are morphologically similar to S. atlantica, S. rafinesqueana and S. cupuliformis and occur in the Atlantic Forest domain; we also provide comments on the geographic distribution and the flowering and fruiting period of S. atlantica, S. rafinesqueana and S. cupuliformis.

Two new species, Portanus restingalis and Paraportanus marica, are described and illustrated from Restinga de Maricá, a sandy coastal plain in Rio de Janeiro State, Southeastern Brazil. Comparative notes on the two new species are given. Portanus youngi and Paraportanus eburatus are newly recorded from Brazil and Guyana, respectively. A checklist of all known species of Portanini with their geographic distribution is provided.

In this contribution six new species of Poeciloderrhis Stål, 1874 are described: P.aureolatus sp. nov. (Holotype male in MNRJ: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro State), P.mediansclerostylatus sp. nov. (Holotype male in MNRJ: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro State), P.diamantinensis sp. nov. (Holotype male in MNRJ: Brazil, Mato Grosso State), P.itatiaiensis sp. nov. (Holotype male in MNRJ: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro State), P.vanzolinii sp. nov. (Holotype male in MNRJ: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro State), and P.penduloides sp. nov. (Holotype male in MNRJ: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro State). The genus is recorded for the first time from the state of Rondônia, Brazil based on P.diamantinensis sp. nov. A new combination is proposed for Poeciloderrhisbicolorata Rocha e Silva & Lopes, 1977 that is transferred to Epilampra Burmeister, 1838. For specific delimation, the tergal modification in the abdomen, the genital plates and their respective structures were analyzed. A key for males including all species of Poeciloderrhis is also given.
