Abstract: We describe a new species of Mannophryne frog, coming from Trujillo State, in the Venezuelan Andes, which constitutes the first species of the genus described from that political unit. This new taxon is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: small size (SVL males 20.1-23.1 mm, females 23.3-27.5 mm); tympanum about ½ the horizontal length of eye; first finger almost equal, or slightly shorter than second; fingers with thick lateral fringes; tarsal fold conspicuous; foot-web formula: I1.0–0.5II1.0–1.0III1.5–0.5IV0.5–2.0V; toes with lateral flaps; short oblique pale inguinal band; collar moderately wide, solid, with small pale blotches; ventrolateral band absent. We provide data on coloration, in life and in preservative, of specimens of the type series, as well as a description of the larvae and ecological data for the species. Key words: Mannophryne, Amphibia, Anura, Venezuela, Andes, taxonomy, natural history, conservation. Resumen: J.Y. Vargas Galarce y E.

We demonstrate 15 ontogenetic dichromatism in M. trinitatis by rearing post-metamorphic froglets to near maturity: the 16 throats of all individuals started as grey coloured; at around seven weeks, the throat became pale 17 yellow in some, and more strongly yellow as development proceeded; the throats of adults are grey 18 in males and variably bright yellow in females, backed by a dark collar.

Crombie from Cachoeira do Espelho, on the right bank of the Xingu River, Pará State, Brazil. The original description was short and did not include the call or colour in life. Rodrigues & Caramaschi (2004) suggested that the taxonomic status of this species need be clarified. We are confident that the species collected and recorded by us is Allobates crombiei (Morales) “2000” [2002] because this is the only species of Allobates found calling in forest near Cachoeira do Espelho, and the character diagnosis in preserved specimens is similar, except that, based on preserved specimens, Morales (2002) considered the ventrolateral and the oblique lateral stripes to be absent. This may be because they are imperceptible in preserved specimens. However, unlike recent authors, Morales (2002) also considered the oblique lateral stripe to be absent in Allobates brunneus, Allobates gasconi and Allobates ornatus, in which he illustrated diffuse spots.

    First Characterization of Toxic Alkaloids and Volatile Organic Compounds

    Gonzalez et al. Frontiers in Zoology (2021) 18:39 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12983-021-00420-1 RESEARCH Open Access First characterization of toxic alkaloids and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the cryptic dendrobatid Silverstoneia punctiventris Mabel Gonzalez1* , Pablo Palacios-Rodriguez2 , Jack Hernandez-Restrepo2 , Marco González-Santoro2 , Adolfo Amézquita2, Andrés E. Brunetti3,4 and Chiara Carazzone1* Abstract Background: Poison frogs are known for the outstanding diversity of alkaloid-based chemical defences with promising therapeutic applications. However, current knowledge about chemical defences in Dendrobatoidea superfamily has two sources of bias. First, cryptic, brown-colored species have been neglected in comparison to those conspicuously colored, and second, there has been little interest in characterizing metabolites other than alkaloids mediating defensive functions. In an effort to contribute to fill the gap of knowledge about cryptic species and broadening the spectrum of compounds analyzed we have applied head-space solid phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS) for extracting amphibian alkaloids and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Silverstoneia punctiventris. Results: Using the skin from 8 specimens in 4 biological replicates we have found 33 different compounds. Twenty of them were classified as VOCs into 15 chemical classes including alkanes, alcohols, carbonyl compounds, methylpyridines, benzothiazoles, N-alkylpyrrolidines, pyrazines, and sesquiterpenoids, some of which were previously reported as repellents, defence compounds or defence pheromones in other organisms, and as sex pheromones in a treefrog. Interestingly, six of the remaining compounds were identified as alkaloids previously reported in other toxic/unpalatable dendrobatid frogs. Conclusions: This is the first report of alkaloids and VOCs found in the Silverstoneia genus, which has been assumed for decades as non-chemically defended.

Walker, Jon Bielby, Trenton W. J. Garner, George Weaver, the Bd Mapping Group, and Matthew C. Fisher Supplemental Information Taxonomic Notes Genera were assigned to families for summarization (Table 1 in main text) and analysis (Table 2 in main text) based on the most recent available comprehensive taxonomic references (Frost et al. 2006, Frost 2008, Frost 2009, Frost 2011). We chose recent family designations to explore patterns of Bd susceptibility and occurrence because these classifications were based on both genetic and morphological data, and hence may more likely yield meaningful inference. Some North American species were assigned to genus according to Crother (2008), and dendrobatid frogs were assigned to family and genus based on Grant et al. (2006). Eleutherodactylid frogs were assigned to family and genus based on Hedges et al. (2008); centrolenid frogs based on Cisneros-Heredia et al. (2007). For the eleutherodactylid frogs of Central and South America and the Caribbean, older sources count them among the Leptodactylidae, whereas Frost et al. (2006) put them in the family Brachycephalidae. More recent work (Heinicke et al. 2007) suggests that most of the genera that were once “Eleutherodactylus” (including those species currently assigned to the genera Eleutherodactylus, Craugastor, Euhyas, Phrynopus, and Pristimantis and assorted others), may belong in a separate, or even several different new families. Subsequent work (Hedges et al. 2008) has divided them among three families, the Craugastoridae, the Eleutherodactylidae, and the Strabomantidae, which were used in our classification.
