Proceratophrys sanctaritae sp. nov. is diagnosed from all congeners by the combination of medium size (snout–vent length 38.4–45.5 mm), single and long uni-cuspidate palpebral appendage, rostral appendage longer than upper lip width, presence of preocular crest, frontoparietal crest poorly developed, color of ventral surfaces, and acoustic parameters of the advertisement call.

Polyploidy and Sex Chromosome Evolution in Amphibians
Chapter 18 Polyploidization and Sex Chromosome Evolution in Amphibians Ben J. Evans, R. Alexander Pyron and John J. Wiens Abstract Genome duplication, including polyploid speciation and spontaneous polyploidy in diploid species, occurs more frequently in amphibians than mammals. One possible explanation is that some amphibians, unlike almost all mammals, have young sex chromosomes that carry a similar suite of genes (apart from the genetic trigger for sex determination). These species potentially can experience genome duplication without disrupting dosage stoichiometry between interacting proteins encoded by genes on the sex chromosomes and autosomalPROOF chromosomes. To explore this possibility, we performed a permutation aimed at testing whether amphibian species that experienced polyploid speciation or spontaneous polyploidy have younger sex chromosomes than other amphibians. While the most conservative permutation was not significant, the frog genera Xenopus and Leiopelma provide anecdotal support for a negative correlation between the age of sex chromosomes and a species’ propensity to undergo genome duplication. This study also points to more frequent turnover of sex chromosomes than previously proposed, and suggests a lack of statistical support for male versus female heterogamy in the most recent common ancestors of frogs, salamanders, and amphibians in general. Future advances in genomics undoubtedly will further illuminate the relationship between amphibian sex chromosome degeneration and genome duplication. B. J.

Amphibians from the Centro Marista São José Das Paineiras, in Mendes, and Surrounding Municipalities, State of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Herpetology Notes, volume 7: 489-499 (2014) (published online on 25 August 2014) Amphibians from the Centro Marista São José das Paineiras, in Mendes, and surrounding municipalities, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Manuella Folly¹ *, Juliana Kirchmeyer¹, Marcia dos Reis Gomes¹, Fabio Hepp², Joice Ruggeri¹, Cyro de Luna- Dias¹, Andressa M. Bezerra¹, Lucas C. Amaral¹ and Sergio P. de Carvalho-e-Silva¹ Abstract. The amphibian fauna of Brazil is one of the richest in the world, however, there is a lack of information on its diversity and distribution. More studies are necessary to increase our understanding of amphibian ecology, microhabitat choice and use, and distribution of species along an area, thereby facilitating actions for its management and conservation. Herein, we present a list of the amphibians found in one remnant area of Atlantic Forest, at Centro Marista São José das Paineiras and surroundings. Fifty-one amphibian species belonging to twenty-five genera and eleven families were recorded: Anura - Aromobatidae (one species), Brachycephalidae (six species), Bufonidae (three species), Craugastoridae (one species), Cycloramphidae (three species), Hylidae (twenty-four species), Hylodidae (two species), Leptodactylidae (six species), Microhylidae (two species), Odontophrynidae (two species); and Gymnophiona - Siphonopidae (one species). Visits to herpetological collections were responsible for 16 species of the previous list. The most abundant species recorded in the field were Crossodactylus gaudichaudii, Hypsiboas faber, and Ischnocnema parva, whereas the species Chiasmocleis lacrimae was recorded only once. Keywords: Anura, Atlantic Forest, Biodiversity, Gymnophiona, Inventory, Check List. Introduction characteristics. The largest fragment of Atlantic Forest is located in the Serra do Mar mountain range, extending The Atlantic Forest extends along a great part of from the coast of São Paulo to the coast of Rio de Janeiro the Brazilian coast (Bergallo et al., 2000), formerly (Ribeiro et al., 2009). -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of the Proceratophrys cristiceps group is described from central Brazil based on adult morphology and advertisement call. Proceratophrys vielliardi sp. nov. is mainly diagnosed by its medium size, lack of tubercular sagittal crests from eyelids to coccyx and a multi-noted advertisement call. This is the second species of Proceratophrys described from central Brazil. Key words: Cerrado, Lissamphibia, Odontophrynini, State of Goiás, taxonomy, vocalization Introduction As presently defined, the genus Proceratophrys Miranda-Ribeiro comprises 22 species (Prado & Pombal 2008; Cruz & Napoli 2010; Frost 2011) distributed throughout Brazil, northeastern Argentina and Paraguay (Frost 2011); it is likely a monophyletic taxon, with Odontophrynus Reinhardt and Lütken as its sister group (Frost et al. 2006; Amaro et al. 2009). Most species of Proceratophrys have been placed into one out of the three following phenetic groups: The Proceratophrys boiei species group includes species with long horn-like palpebral appendages, distributed mainly throughout coastal Brazilian Atlantic Forest (reviewed in Prado & Pombal 2008); it comprises P. -
