Quinta da Boa Vista s/n, São Abstract: We report geographic range extensions for two anuran species, Brachycephalus didactylus (Bachycephalidae) and Zachaenus parvulus (Cycloramphidae), recorded during a short-term herpetofaunal survey carried out at mid-elevation (600-900 m) Atlantic Forest sites at the Serra das Torres mountains (21°00’ S, 41°13’ W), in the state of Espírito Santo, SE Brazil. These two species are reported for the first time in Espírito Santo, representing the northernmost records for both of them and raising to 135 the number of anuran species currently known to occur in the state.

    Asian Herpetological Research 2011, 2(4): 245–250 DOI: 10.3724/SP.J.1245.2011.00245 Abundance and Breeding of the Common Skittering Frog (Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis) and Bull Frog (Hoplobatrachus tigerinus) at Rawal Lake, Islamabad, Pakistan Fozia TABASSUM, Muhammad RAIS*, Maqsood ANWAR, Tariq MEHMOOD, Iftikhar HUSSAIN and Shahid ALI KHAN Department of Wildlife Management, Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi 46300, Pakistan Abstract The population density and breeding of two frog species, i. e., the Skittering Frog (Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis) and the Bull Frog (Hoplobatrachus tigerinus) were studied at Rawal Lake, Islamabad, Pakistan, by using visual encounter method from September 2009 to August 2010. Mean population density for the two frogs was 1.55 ± 0.44 frogs per ha, with that for the Skittering Frog being 1.09 ± 0.33 frogs/ha and that of the Bull Frog 0.46 ± 0.11 frog/ha, respectively. It is concluded that both frog species are explosive breeders, i. e., their breeding activities were confined to the first showers of the monsoon season. The mean spawn weight of the Skittering Frog was 1.5 g with more than 1000 eggs in each spawn, while that of the Bull Frog was 0.26 g with less than 1000 eggs in a spawn. The spawning sites of the two species were investigated in detail. Generally, no threat to their populations was observed. However, the opening of the spillway of Rawal Dam following the torrential rain destroyed the breeding sites of the frogs. It is maintained that the event did not produce any significant impact on their populations and breeding as the two species were quite common.

COCHRAN Curator of Reptiles and Amphibians United States National Museum Publications of the United Slates National Museum The scientific publications of the United States National Museum include two series, Proceedings of the United States National Museum and United States National Museum Bulletin. In these series are published original articles and monographs dealing with the collections and work of the Museum and setting forth newly ac- quired facts in the fields of Anthropology, Biology, Geology, History, and Technology. Copies of each publication are distributed to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form, of shorter papers. These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902 papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum have been published in the Bulletin series under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herbarium.

    Species Zachaenus Carvalhoi Izecksohn, 1983 (Anura, Cycloramphidae): an Endemic Frog from the Atlantic Forest of Southeastern Brazil

    Herpetology Notes, volume 12: 113-204 (2019) (published online on 1 January 2019) Filling knowledge gaps about the ‘Data Deficient’ species Zachaenus carvalhoi Izecksohn, 1983 (Anura, Cycloramphidae): an endemic frog from the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil Jhonny J. M. Guedes1,*, Clodoaldo L. de Assis1, Camila M. Novaes2, Jorge A. Dergam3, and Renato N. Feio1 Abstract. Zachaenus carvalhoi is an endemic frog from the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. It is considered a rare species, being currently classified as ‘Data Deficient’ by the IUCN due to the shortage of information about its natural history, ecological requirements, distribution and population trends. In the present study, we aim to fill gaps in the current knowledge of this species by: updating its altitudinal distribution range; describing its release call; providing new natural history data; and describing its karyotype. During fieldwork in the Municipality of Cataguases, Minas Gerais State, we recorded individuals of Z. carvalhoi in three small forest fragments, one of them at only 230 m a.s.l., which now represents the lowest known altitudinal record for this species. In all occasions, we only recorded this frog in calling activity during rainy days, suggesting an opportunistic breeding strategy. Moreover, the karyotype of Z. carvalhoi (2n = 26) is similar to those of other species of the family Cycloramphidae, but it differs remarkably in morphology and fundamental number. The advertisement call presented differences in the spectral structure in comparison to descriptions from other populations. In conclusion, Z. carvalhoi seems to be an explosive breeder occurring along a wide altitudinal range (low- and highland Atlantic Forest), and physical barriers such as mountain chains may not be a constraint to its dispersal.

    0 CHAPTER 9. AMPHIBIANS OF THE NEOTROPICAL REALM Cochranella vozmedianoi (Data Deficient) is Federico Bolanos, Fernando Castro, Claudia Cortez, Ignacio De la Riva, Taran a poorly known species endemic to Cerro El Grant, Blair Hedges, Ronald Heyer, Roberto Ibaiiez, Enrique La Marca, Esteban Humo, in the Peninsula de Paria, in northern Lavilla, Debora Leite Silvano, Stefan Loiters, Gabriela Parra Olea, Steffen Venezuela. It is a glass frog from the Family Reichle, Robert Reynolds, Lily Rodriguez, Georgina Santos Barrera, Norman Centrolenidae that inhabits tropical humid Scott, Carmen Ubeda, Alberto Veloso, Mark Wilkinson, and Bruce Young forests, along streams. It lays its eggs on the upper side of leaves overhanging streams. The larvae fall into the stream below after hatch- THE GEOGRAPHIC AND HUMAN CONTEXT ing. © Juan Manuel Guayasamin The Neotropical Realm includes all of mainland South America, much of Mesoamerica (except parts of northern Mexico), all of the Caribbean islands, and extreme southern Texas and Florida in the United States. South America has a long history of geographic isolation that began when this continent separated from other Southern Hemisphere land masses 40-30 Ma. The Andes, one of the largest mountain ranges on earth and reaching 6,962m at Acongagua in Argentina, began to uplift 80-65Ma as South America drifted west from Africa. The other prominent mountainous areas on the continent are the Tepuis of the Guianan Shield, and the highlands of south- eastern Brazil. The complex patterns of wet and dry habitats on the continent are the result of an array of factors, including the climatic effects of cold ocean currents interacting with these mountain ranges, orographic barriers to winds carrying humidity within the continent, and the constant shifting of the intertropical convergence zone, among others.
