The Vitreorana Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Data on the distribution of glassfrogs are important Trueb, Ayarzagüena, Rada, and Vilà, 2009 comprises ten for taxonomic and conservation purposes (Castroviejo- (Frost, 2020), commonly known as glassfrogs. Fisher et al., 2011). However, there are still large gaps Members of Vitreorana occur at elevations below 1,900 in the knowledge of the geographic distribution, natural m in the Cordillera de la Costa of Venezuela [Vitreorana history, and of many glassfrogs antisthenesi (Goin, 1963), V. castroviejoi (Ayarzagüena species. Currently, V. ritae is listed as “Data Deficient” and Señaris, 1997)], Guiana Shield [V. gorzulae according to the International Union for the Conservation (Ayarzagüena, 1992), V. helenae (Ayarzagüena, 1992), of Nature red list (Rodrigues and Azevedo-Ramos, V. ritae (Lutz, 1952)], Amazonia of and 2004). Herein we report the first record of this species (V. ritae), and in the Atlantic of from five localities of the state of Amapá, eastern and Argentina [V. eurygnatha (Lutz, 1925), V. parvula Amazon, northern Brazil, aggregating more knowledge (Boulenger, 1895), V. uranoscopa (Müller, 1924), V. to this species. baliomma Pontes et al., 2014, V. franciscana Santana The new records were based on field sampling et al., 2015) (Guayasamin et al., 2009). The species are techniques (e.g. visual encounter survey and acoustic nocturnal, arboreal, and spawn on vegetation or rocks encounter survey, see Heyer et al., 1994) and museum near bodies of water (Rodrigues et al., 2010). specimens from the Collection of the Fauna of Amapá, is a small glassfrog (max size 24 Amapá State Institute for Scientific and Technological mm snout-vent length) with a wide distribution in the Research, Macapá, Amapá, Brazil (IEPA). We made Amazonian lowlands of eastern Ecuador, Colombia, an updated map of the distribution records of V. ritae , Bolivia; , Surinam, and with Quantum GIS software version 3.12 (Quantum (Lescure and Marty, 2000; Ouboter and Jairam, 2012).

(Guayasamin et al., 2009; Cisnero-Heredia, 2013). We found male specimens of V. ritae in five localities in the state of Amapá: (1) Rio Iratapuru Sustainable Development Reserve (-0.3181°S, -52.4319°W), 1 Universidade Federal do Amapá, Departamento de Ciências municipality of Laranjal do Jari; (2) right margin of the Biológicas e da Saúde, Laboratório de Herpetologia, Rodovia Anacuí River at Tumucumaque Mountains National Juscelino Kubitschek Km 02, 68903-419, Macapá, Amapá, Park (1.8447°N, -52.7411°W), municipality of Serra do
