We record for the first time the presence of in the state of Rondônia, and a new record in the state of Acre, Brazil. This treefrog is found throughout western Amazon in Brazil and no information about its distribution in Rondônia was reported previously.
Hypsiboas
The genus includes more than 80 species (01°03’ N, 69°28’ W) (Pyburn 1977), some localities in distributed in the tropical Central and South America northern and eastern Peru (Rodriguez and Duellman from Nicaragua to Argentina; TrinidadHypsiboas and Tobago microderma (Frost 1994; Souza and Gonzales 2006) and Brazil (western 2011). For many of the known species data on geographic Acre state [Cardoso and Vielliard 1990; Souza 2009] distribution and behavior is scarce. and Amazonas state [França and Venâncio 2010]). No (Figure 1) has a wide distribution from upper Amazon specific methods for sampling stream frogs have ever been Basin in southeastern Colombia, and Brazil (França and developed, Hypsiboas with microderma previous studies relying only on visual Venâncio 2010; Frost 2011) and Peru (Rodriguez and encounter surveys. Duellman 1994;H.

The collected specimens were deposited in the state of Acre. A further specimen was found by two of us Coleção de Referência de Vertebrados da Universidade (DM and US) during herpetofaunal sampling at Estação Federal de Rondônia, in Porto Velho, Rondônia (UFRO-H Ecológica do Cuniã – Rondônia, into enclaves of Savanna 000586), and at the Coleção Herpetológica da Universidade (08°05’21,4” S, 63°28’35,8” W) on 28 July 2010. et al.
