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. -
Chromosome Analysis of Five Brazilian

The present work describes karyotypes of the Brazilian species Adelphobates castaneoticus, A. quinquevittatus, Ameerega picta, A. galactonotus and Dendrobates tinctorius which were compared to each other and with previously described related species. All karyotypes consisted of 2n = 18 chromosomes, except for A. picta which had 2n = 24. The karyotypes of the Adelphobates and D. tinctorius species were highly similar to each other and to the other 2n = 18 previously studied species, revealing conserved karyotypic characteristics in both genera. In recent phylogenetic studies, all Adelphobates species were grouped in a clade separated from the Dendrobates species. Thus, we hypothesized that their common karyotypic traits may have a distinct origin by chromosome rearrangements and mutations. In A. picta, with 2n = 24, chromosome features of pairs from 1 to 8 are shared with other previously karyotyped species within this genus. Hence, the A. -

Perimetral 1901/1907, Terra Firme, 66017-970, Belém, Pará, Brasil. ² Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Departamento de Ecologia e Zoologia, Centro de Ciências Biológicas, 88040-970, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil. * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The reproductive success of tropical amphibians is influenced by factors such as body size and the characteristics of breeding sites. Data on reproductive biology are important for the understanding of population dynamics and the maintenance of species. The objectives of the present study were to examine the abundance ofAmeerega trivittata, analyze the use of microhabitats by calling males and the snout-vent length (SVL) of breeding males and females, the number of tadpoles carried by the males and mature oocytes in the females, as well as the relationship between the SVL of the female and both the number and mean size of the mature oocytes found in the ovaries. Three field trips were conducted between January and September, 2009. A total of 31 plots, with a mean area of 2.3 ha, were surveyed, resulting in records of 235 individuals, with a mean density of 3.26 individuals per hectare. Overall, 66.1% of the individuals sighted were located in the leaf litter, while 17.4% were perched on decaying tree trunks on the forest floor, 15.7% on the aerial roots ofCecropia trees, and 0.8% on lianas. -

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. -
