Carbajal-Márquez2 The Hourglass Treefrog Dendropsophus ebraccatus While conducting a herpetological survey on 24 (Cope, 1874) occurs from southern Veracruz and March 2018, we found and photographed an adult male northern Oaxaca, south into Chiapas, Tabasco, and the Dendropsophus ebraccatus calling in the moist leaf litter Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico (Campeche, Quintana at Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna “Otoch Ma´ax Roo), and further south into northern Guatemala and Yetel Kooh” in the Mayan community of Punta Laguna, Belize. Further south, the range is discontinuous with one Chemax Municipality, Yucatán, Mexico (20.6469°N, or two localities in Honduras, several known localities 87.6340°W; WGS84; elev. 27 m; Fig. 1). This area of in Nicaragua, and then a continuous distribution conservation was decreed by the Mexican government from Costa Rica through Panama into Colombia and in 2002 (Document Department of Urban Development northwestern Ecuador, at low elevations from sea level and Ecology, SEDUE. DS. 142. II.3. 110) and owned to 1600 m (Lee, 1996; Campbell, 1998; Calderón et al., by Chemax Municipality, in the northeastern region 2003; Jungfer et al., 2010; Frost, 2018). It inhabits humid of the state, located 18 km north of the archaeological tropical forest, including primary and secondary forest site of Cobá and 26 km south of Nuevo Xcán, Quintana and forest edge, but also heavily disturbed areas where Roo (CONANP, 2006). It encompasses 5367 ha, of most of the forest is secondary. Breeding occurs during which more than half (61.45%) is covered mostly by the rainy season with aggregations of several hundred medium subdeciduous forest and 32.2% by secondary males calling from low emergent vegetation at the edge of ponds. The eggs are placed on leaves overhanging temporary (and sometimes permanent) ponds; the tadpoles develop in water (Lee, 1996; Campbell, 1998; Jungfer et al., 2010). 1 Instituto Tecnológico de Conkal, Avenida Tecnológico S/N, 97345 Mérida, Yucatán, México. 2 Departamento de Sistemática y Ecología Acuática, El Colegio de la Frontera Sur, Unidad Chetumal, Avenida Centenario km 5.5, CP 77014, Chetumal, Quintana Roo, México. 3 Grupo de Análisis en Ecología Geográfica Aplicada, Laboratorio de Biología de la Conservación, Facultad de Ciencias, Unidad Académica de Yucatán, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Carretera Sierra Papacal- Chuburná Puerto Km. 5, Sierra Papacal, Yucatán, México.

We suggest that (Ramos-Fernández et al., 2004). increasing the sampling efforts in that area will improve Our record is located 111.2 km NE (by air) from the our understanding of the actual distribution of this closest reported locality, 13.3 km NE of Felipe Carrillo species, especially in areas with surface water bodies Puerto (19.6906°N, 87.9598°W; WGS84) on the road to that may harbour larger populations of D. ebraccatus Vigía Chico in the Felipe Carrillo Puerto Municipality, in Yucatán State. Frost (2018) mentioned that the Quintana Roo. This specimen was collected on 2 October population in central Quintana Roo was isolated from 1976 (Brown, 2018; GBIF, 2018; Fig. 2). Additionally, the southernmost nearby populations in Calakmul, four specimens from this locality (KU 171304–07) were Campeche (Calderón et al., 2003). However, with deposited in the KUBI Herpetology Collection (Lee, greater search effort it is likely that the gaps in the 1996; Brown, 2018).

    “Dedicated to the Conservation and Biological Research of Costa Rican Amphibians” A male Crowned Tree Frog (Anotheca spinosa) peering out from a tree hole. 2 Text by: Brian Kubicki Photography by: Brian Kubicki Version: 3.1 (October 12th, 2009) Mailing Address: Apdo. 81-7200, Siquirres, Provincia de Limón, Costa Rica Telephone: (506)-8889-0655, (506)-8841-5327 Web: www.cramphibian.com Email: [email protected] Cover Photo: Mountain Glass Frog (Sachatamia ilex), Quebrada Monge, C.R.A.R.C. Reserve. 3 Costa Rica is internationally recognized as one of the most biologically diverse countries on the planet in total species numbers for many taxonomic groups of flora and fauna, one of those being amphibians. Costa Rica has 190 species of amphibians known from within its tiny 51,032 square kilometers territory. With 3.72 amphibian species per 1,000 sq. km. of national territory, Costa Rica is one of the richest countries in the world regarding amphibian diversity density. Amphibians are under constant threat by contamination, deforestation, climatic change, and disease. The majority of Costa Rica’s amphibians are surrounded by mystery in regards to their basic biology and roles in the ecology. Through intense research in the natural environment and in captivity many important aspects of their biology and conservation can become better known. The Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center (C.R.A.R.C.) was established in 2002, and is a privately owned and operated conservational and biological research center dedicated to studying, understanding, and conserving one of the most ecologically important animal groups of Neotropical humid forest ecosystems, that of the amphibians.

However, this number is likely an underestimate due to the presence of many unexplored areas that are diffcult to access. Between 2012 and 2017, a monitoring survey of amphibians was conducted in the Central Caribbean of Costa Rica, on the northern edge of the Matama mountains in the Talamanca mountain range, to study the distribution patterns and natural history of species across this region, particularly those considered as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The results show the highest amphibian species richness among Middle America lowland evergreen forests, with a notable anuran representation of 64 species.

Abstract Helminths from fifteen species of frogs (Anura, Hylidae) from Costa Rica. Fifteen species of Costa Rican hylid frogs were examined for helminths: Agalychnis annae, Agalychnis callidryas, Agalychnis spurrelli, Dendropsophus ebraccatus, Dendropso- phus phlebodes, Duellmanohyla uranochroa, Hylomantis lemur, Hypsiboas rosenbergi, Isthmohyla pictipes, Isthmohyla rivularis, Isthmohyla tica, Scinax elaeochrous, Smilisca phaeota, Smilisca sordida, Tlalocohyla loquax. The frogs were found to harbor twelve species of helminths including one species of Monogenea, (Polystoma naevius), two species of Digenea (Gorgoderina diaster and Mesocoelium monas), eight species of Nematoda (Cosmocerca podicipinus, Falcaustra costaricae, Ochoterenella digiticauda, Oswaldocruzia costaricensis, Oxyascaris mcdiarmidi, Rhabdias savagei, Physaloptera sp. and Acuariidae gen. sp.) and one species of Acanthocephala (Anuracanthorhynchus lutzi). Mean number of helminth species per infected host species was 2.7 ± 0.3 SE (range 1-5). Thirty-nine new host records are reported. Keywords: Anura, Hylidae, helminths, Monogenea, Digenea, Nematoda, Acantho- cephala, Costa Rica. Introduction Brooks (2004) described Parapharyngodon duniae from Phrynohyas venulosa (currently The helminth biodiversity of Neotropical Trachycephalus venulosus). Brooks et al. vertebrates is virtually unknown (Salgado- (2006) listed platyhelminth parasites from 6 Maldonado et al. 2000) and consequently little Costa Rican hylid species, Isthmohyla information is available on the helminths of lancasteri, Scinax boulengeri, Smilisca baudinii, Costa Rican hylid frogs.
