We compared species lists from nine sites in the Madre de Dios region, five of which are in nationally recognized protected areas and four are outside the country’s protected area system. Los Amigos, occurring outside the protected area system, is the most species-rich locality included in our comparison.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of Bryophryne from southern Peru (Cusco Region) is described. Specimens were found in the leaf litter of cloud forest at elevations of 2350–3215 m. The new species has a maximum snout-vent length of 21.9 mm in adult females, 18.9 mm in adult males and is the smallest species of the genus. It lacks a tympanum and dentigerous processes of vomers, has dorsolateral folds, and males without vocal slits and without nuptial pads. The new species is most similar to B. bustamantei but differs in being smaller, having discontinuous dorsolateral folds, the males lacking vocal slits, and an overall darker ventral coloration. Bryophryne contains three species all of which lack a tympanum. The deep valley of the Río Apurímac as a distributional barrier separating Phrynopus from Bryophryne is discussed. Key words: Andes, biogeography, Bryophryne cophites, Bryophryne bustamantei Resumen Se describe una nueva especie de Bryophryne del sur de Perú (Región Cusco).

Tatum-Hume Piedras Biodiversity Station Margarita M. Müller Universidad de Ricardo Palma, Lima Konrad S. Schmidt Biosphere Expeditions Matthias L.A. Hammer (editor) Biosphere Expeditions £10 / €15 where sold Abstract In 2003 Biosphere Expeditions completed a second successful year of biodiversity investigations at the Piedras Biodiversity Station along the River Las Piedras in the Per Amazon. This year the expedition ran between 15 June and 25 July 2003 and concentrated on four projects. The herpetology project was the first of its kind for the Piedras river system and in just four weeks the expedition collected and identified 71 species of frog, toad and reptile, a considerable number for such a short period of time. Data collection continued on the mammal transects and at the macaw colpa. The mammal transect investigations collected data on animal populations and compared populations in a hunted versus a non-hunted area. At the macaw colpa the team continued to investigate the impacts of boat traffic on parrot feeding behaviour and looked at species composition and numbers. A further study was carried out at a mammal colpa. Using combined print traps and a remote sensor video camera 14 species of bird and animal were recorded feeding at the colpa. En 2003 Biosphere Expeditions completo un segundo año exitoso de investigación en el Rió Las Piedras.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We present the description of a new species of the recently described genus Psychrophrynella. Hitherto, frogs of this new species were traditionally misidentified as Phrynopus peruvianus. The new species is known only from elevations of 3270–3450 m in the vicinity of the type locality in the Cordillera de Paucartambo, Departamento Cusco, Peru. It is unique within Psychrophrynella in having a marked, oblique inner tarsal tubercle. The geographically closest species Psychrophrynella bagrecito Lynch, also possesses a tarsal tubercle. Key words: Anura, Strabomantidae, Noblella, Phrynopus, Psychrophrynella, taxonomy, new species, Andes, Peru Introduction The study of the taxonomy of Andean frogs formerly included in the broad category of "eleutherodactylines" has accelerated in recent years with the description of dozens of species in the genera Eleutherodactylus, Phrynopus and Phyllonastes. In addition, the comprehensive phylogenetic studies of Heinicke et al. (2007) and Hedges et al. (2008) plus other, more partial studies (e. g., De la Riva et al., 2008; Padial et al., 2007; 2008) have led to a drastic taxonomic rearrangement of the whole group.

Phylogenetic analyses supported Phrynopus remotum sp. nov. as an independent lineage, sister to most of its congeners. The new species is morphologically distinguishable by the presence of small tubercles on upper eyelids and heels, an areolate venter, and the absence of dorsolateral folds or ridges. This species inhabits the highlands adjacent to the Marañón Dry valley. The only sympatric amphibian species recorded is the marsupial frog Gastrotheca peruana.

We also summarized data on lizard faunas for nine other well-studied areas in Amazonia to make pairwise comparisons among sites. The Biogeographic Similarity Coefficient for each pair of sites was calculated and plotted against the geographic distance between the sites. A Parsimony Analysis of Endemicity was performed comparing all sites. A total of 114 species has been recorded in the four studied sites, of which 45 are lizards, three amphisbaenians, and 66 snakes. The two sites between the Xingu and Madeira rivers were the poorest in number of species, those in western Amazonia, between the Madeira and Juruá Rivers, were the richest. Biogeographic analyses corroborated the existence of a well-defined separation between a western and an eastern lizard fauna. The western fauna contains two groups, which occupy respectively the areas of endemism known as Napo (west) and Inambari (southwest). Relationships among these western localities varied, except between the two northernmost localities, Iquitos and Santa Cecilia, which grouped together in all five area cladograms obtained. No variation existed in the area cladogram between eastern Amazonia sites. The easternmost localities grouped with Guianan localities, and they all grouped with localities more to the west, south of the Amazon River.

We describe two new species of Phrynopus from the Unchog Elfin Forest of the Cordillera de Carpish in the eastern Andes of central Peru, Región Huánuco. Specimens were obtained from the Puna at elevations between 3276 and 3582 m above sea level. One of the new species is described based on a single male which has a pale gray coloration with large tubercles on dorsum and flanks. It is most similar toP. bufoides and P. thompsoni. The second new species is described based on a male and a female. This new species has a grayish-brown coloration with reddish-brown groin, and discontinu- ous dorsolateral folds. It is most similar to P. dagmarae and P. vestigiatus. There are currently 32 species of Phrynopus, all known from Peru, seven (22%) of which inhabit the Cordillera de Carpish. Key words. Amphibia, Anura, new species, Puna, singleton species, taxonomy, Unchog forest. Resumen. Describimos dos nuevas especies de Phrynopus del bosque enano de Unchog en la Cordillera de Carpish en los Andes orientales del centro del Perú, en la región de Huánuco.

ZooKeys 660: 17–42. https://doi.org/10.3897/ zookeys.660.11394 Abstract We describe a new species of Pristimantis from upper montane forests and high Andean grasslands of the Pui Pui Protected Forest and its close surroundings, Región Junín, central Peru. The description of the new species is based on 34 specimens found at elevations between 3400 and 3936 m a.s.l. Pristimantis attenbor- oughi sp. n. is characterized by a snout–vent length of 14.6–19.2 mm in adult males (n = 21), 19.2–23.0 mm in adult females (n = 10), and is compared morphologically and genetically with other taxonomically and biogeographically relevant species of Pristimantis.

  • A New, Critically Endangered Species of Pristimantis

We describe a new species of Pristimantis from high Andean grasslands (jalca) at 3600 m above sea level in northern Peru (Región Cajamarca) based on morphological and molecular characters. The new species is known from four males and five females, which were found sheltering in the rosettes ofPuya fastuosa (Bromeliaceae). The phylogenetic analysis of a fragment of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene suggests that the new species is a sister taxon of Pristimantis simonsii. The new species differs from its congeners by having a black dorsum speckled with white flecks and a dark brown groin with white spots. Furthermore, adult males have a snout–vent length of 23.6–27.2 mm (n = 4), and adult females of 25.6–32.8 mm (n = 5).
