Abstract The taxonomic status of two leptodactylid frog genera is reevaluated. Ischnocnema Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 is considered a junior synonym of Eleutherodactylus Duméril and Bibron, and the combination E. verrucosus (Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862) is proposed. Oreobates Jiménez-de-la- Espada, 1872 is revalidated, and the combinations Oreobates quixensis Jiménez-de-la-Espada, 1872, O. simmonsi (Lynch, 1974), O. saxatilis (Duellman, 1990), O. sanctaecrucis (Harvey and Keck, 1995), and O. sanderi (Padial, Reichle and De la Riva, 2005) are proposed. Epsophus verrucosus Miranda-Ribeiro, 1937 is synonymized with Eleutherodactylus verrucosus (Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862). Key words: Amphibia; Anura; Leptodactylidae; Ischnocnema; Oreobates; Taxonomy Introduction WIDELY disjunct geographical distributions among closely related species are rare in the Neotropics. In general, a more detailed analysis reveals that these species are, in reality, members of distinct evolutionary lineages. The geographical distribution of the species currently placed in the genus Ischnocnema Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 presents such a gap. One species, I. verrucosa (Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862), occurs in Southeastern Brazil, and the other five, I. -

We compared species lists from nine sites in the Madre de Dios region, five of which are in nationally recognized protected areas and four are outside the country’s protected area system. Los Amigos, occurring outside the protected area system, is the most species-rich locality included in our comparison. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of Bryophryne from southern Peru (Cusco Region) is described. Specimens were found in the leaf litter of cloud forest at elevations of 2350–3215 m. The new species has a maximum snout-vent length of 21.9 mm in adult females, 18.9 mm in adult males and is the smallest species of the genus. It lacks a tympanum and dentigerous processes of vomers, has dorsolateral folds, and males without vocal slits and without nuptial pads. The new species is most similar to B. bustamantei but differs in being smaller, having discontinuous dorsolateral folds, the males lacking vocal slits, and an overall darker ventral coloration. Bryophryne contains three species all of which lack a tympanum. The deep valley of the Río Apurímac as a distributional barrier separating Phrynopus from Bryophryne is discussed. Key words: Andes, biogeography, Bryophryne cophites, Bryophryne bustamantei Resumen Se describe una nueva especie de Bryophryne del sur de Perú (Región Cusco). -

N E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Herein I present a new geographical record of Ischnocnema verrucosa Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 for northeastern Brazil and briefly discuss the new record with a previous record of similar characteristics. Recently, the speciose genus Eleutherodactylus Duméril and Bibron, 1841 was subject to various large molecular phylogenetic analyses (Frost et al. 2006; Heinicke et al. 2007; Hedges et al. 2008), being split into several taxa. Among these, Ischnocnema Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 series. According to Hedges et al. (2008), the series of Ischnocnemawas redefined verrucosa to accommodate contains 30 only species I. juipoca divided (Sazima in five and Cardoso, 1978) and I. verrucosa Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862. Probably the most conspicuous characteristic distinguishing these from other species of Ischnocnema is the densely tuberculate dorsum. Species of this group have been reported only for southeastern and central Brazil in Atlantic rainforest and/or Cerrado domains (Nascimento et al. 2004; Bastos et al. 2008). th of 2009 in Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) Serra Bonita Figure 1.
