Amphibia, Anura, Hylidae, Hypsiboas exastis (Caramaschi and Rodrigues, 2003): distribution extension and first record in the state of Alagoas, Brazil

The hylid frog Hypsiboas exastis has recently been described and is only known from few locations along the Atlantic coast of northeastern Brazil. This work reports this species in an Atlantic rainforest fragment north of the São Francisco River, the Coimbra forest, in the state of Alagoas. The new record expands the geographical distribution of H. exastis approximately 70 km to the northeast.

Enyalius bibronii Boulenger, 1885 is a Neotropical lizard registered in seven northeastern Brazilian states; in this paper we present the first record of Enyalius bibronii for the state of Alagoas, Brazil, and a distribution map for this species. These records fill the gaps of the geographical distribution of E. bibronii, in the north region of the São Francisco River in Brazil.

The record of A. fuscoauratus in the municipality of Tibau do Sul, state of Rio Grande do Norte, represents a distribution extension of 170 km northwestern from the municipality of Cabedelo, state of Paraíba. This is the northernmost record of this species in the Atlantic Rainforest.

This study provides the first record of the exotic invasive bivalve Isognomon bicolor for the State of Paraíba, Northeastern Brazil. It has been found to occur in at least twelve coastal reefs along the coast. We also present its first record for the State of Alagoas and new record localities for the States of Rio Grande do Norte and Pernambuco, including its occurrence in hypersaline estuaries. From these records the distribution range of I. bicolor has been expanded to the littoral region of Northeast Brazil, where this invasive species seems well established.

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.

Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) is a small mytilid native to Southeast Asia. It was introduced in South America in early 1990 and has dispersed from Argentina to central Brazil, and until 2014 has been restricted mainly to the Paraná and Uruguay river basins. The present note reports the occurrence of Limnoperna fortunei for the first time in the São Francisco River basin in northeastern Brazil. The establishment of L. fortunei in these regions will require close attention from the government and also by society.

Decapod Crustaceans ◽

Estuarine Species

In July 2016, an important regional checklist entitled “Decapod crustaceans from the state of Ceará, northeastern Brazil: an updated checklist of marine and estuarine species, with 23 new records” was published in the journal Zootaxa (Pachelle et al. 2016). A few days after publication of this monograph, two of our colleagues specialised in the taxonomy of ghost and mud shrimps (Axiidea and Gebiidea), Dr Mônica Botter-Carvalho (UFRPE) and Dr Peter C. Dworschak (NHMW), informed us that the material reported under Neocallichirus maryae Karasawa, 2004 appeared to contain more than one species. Their comments were based on examination of colour photographs showing several specimens identified as N. maryae in Pachelle et al. (2016)’s figure 21. This prompted a re-examination of the material from Ceará identified as N. maryae, including all specimens reported by Pachelle et al. (2016). Despite the fact that most of them were correctly identified as N. maryae, two individuals (MZUSP 32610, 32615) were re-identified as Sergio guassutinga (Rodrigues, 1971) [as indeed suggested by M. Botter-Carvalho and P.C. Dworschak] and Neocallichirus cacahuate Felder & Manning, 1995, respectively. The former species is a new record for the state of Ceará, whilst the latter species represents a new record not only for Ceará, but also for Brazil and the southwestern Atlantic.
