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).

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.

Caesio cuning is a reef-associated artisanal fishery, making it an ideal species for assessing regional patterns of gene flow for evidence of speciation mechanisms as well as for regional management purposes. We evaluated the genetic population structure of Caesio cuning using a 382bp segment of the mitochondrial control region amplified from over 620 fish sampled from 33 localities across the Philippines and Indonesia.

Daza* Grupo Herpetológico de Antioquia, Instituto de Biología, Universidad de Antioquia, Calle 67 # 53–108, Bloque 7–121, A.A. 1226, Medellín, Colombia. *Correspondig author. E-mail: [email protected] Submitted on 2015, 17th July; revised on 2015, 11thNovember; accepted on 2015, 16th November Editor: Adriana Bellati Abstract. The Pristimantis lacrimosus species group, with 24 species distributed in the Neotropics, is a group of arbo- real frogs commonly inhabiting bromeliads. Previous studies have claimed the group to be monophyletic but few spe- cies have been included in phylogenetic analyses. In this paper, we included five additional species from the northern Andes in Colombia and tested the monophyly of this phenetic group using genetic data under a Bayesian approach. Our results show that the P. lacrimosus group represents two distant and unrelated clades. Clade “A” is endemic to Colombia while Clade “B” encompasses species distributed in Central America, Ecuador and Peru. For the first time, we reveal the phylogenetic position of P. boulengeri and a new species is described. The new taxon is most closely related to P. brevifrons from southwestern Colombia with a genetic distance of 4.3% for 16S and 10.6% for COI. Our results suggest, one more time, that morphological similarity among species in the most diverse vertebrate genus not necessarily agree with its evolutionary history and that more effort in alpha taxonomy needs to be done in order to understand the tremendous radiation of this lineage in the Neotropics.

  • A New Species of Frog (Terrarana, Strabomantidae, Phrynopus) from the Peruvian Andean Grasslands
    A new species of frog (Terrarana, Strabomantidae, Phrynopus) from the Peruvian Andean grasslands Germán Chávez1,3, Luis Alberto García Ayachi1,3 and Alessandro Catenazzi1,2,3 1 División de Herpetología, CORBIDI, Lima, Perú 2 Department of Biological Sciences, Florida International University, Miami, FL, United States of America 3 Instituto Peruano de Herpetología, Lima, Perú ABSTRACT We describe a new, medium-sized species of terrestrial frog of the genus Phrynopus from a single locality in the central Andes of Peru (Departamento de Huánuco) at 3,730 meters of elevation. 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. Subjects Biodiversity, Conservation Biology, Ecology, Taxonomy, Zoology Keywords Phrynopus, Andes, Peru, Areolate venter, Phylogenetic, Lineage, Huánuco, Marañón INTRODUCTION Terrestrial-breeding frogs of the genus Phrynopus inhabit Andean highland habitats such as puna grasslands and montane forests in central and northern Peru (Lehr, Moravec & Cusi, 2012).

However, emerging evidence has provided insights on the adaptive potential of multiple species to respond to illnesses and environmental pressures. In Costa Rica, the decline of amphibian populations is a remarkable example of these changes. Here we provide evidence of variation in the amphibian richness of a premontane forest of San Ramón (Costa Rica) across a ~30 year period.

  • Molecular Phylogenetics of Pristimantis (Anura: Strabomantidae) and the Origin and Diversification of Central American Species
    Molecular Phylogenetics of Pristimantis (Anura: Strabomantidae) and the origin and diversification of Central American species Nelsy Rocío Pinto Sánchez Trabajo de grado presentado para optar al título de M aestría en Ciencias Biológicas Director Santiago Madriñán, Ph.D. Profesor Asociado del Departamento de Ciencias Biológicas Universidad de los Andes Codirector Andrew J. Cra wford, Ph.D. Investigador Instituto Smithsonian de Investigaciones Tropicales Bogotá D. C., Noviembre 2008 ABSTRACT Pristimantis (Anura: Strabomantidae) represents an exceptionally diverse group among Neotropical anurans, but the evolutionary relationships among subgeneric groups are poorly known. Using both original and published multilocus DNA sequence data, we developed a novel phylogenetic hypothesis for this genus. Ingroup sampling included 30.9% of the described species (265 individuals from 132 species, of which 156 individuals from 34 species are new data). Genetic data included three mitochondrial (COI, 12S, 16S) and two nuclear markers (Rag-1 and Tyr) for a total of ~4279 base pairs. Phylogenies were inferred using parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of individual genes and combined data sets. The new phylogenetic hypothesis conflicts with most recognized taxonomic groupings. Within Pristimantis, the peruvianus group was the only group recovered, whereas the "conscipillatus”, “curtipes”, “devillei”, “frater”, “lacrimosus”, “myersi”, “orestes”, “surdus”, and “unistrigatus” were not supported as natural groups. The molecular phylogeny suggests that the colonization of Central America by South American Pristimantis involved perhaps 13 independent events. Our results suggest alternative interpretations of Pristimantis taxonomy, character evolution, and biogeography, topics that now demand more extensive evaluation in future studies. Keywords: Anura, Strabomantidae, Pristimantis, Terrarana, Colombia, Central America, Great American Biotic Interchange, M olecular phylogenetics.

Corregido 20-IX-2013. Aceptado 30-X-2013. Abstract: Reproductive ecology of Geobatrachus walkeri (Anura: Strabomantidae). Geobatrachus walkeri is a frog that belongs to a monotypic genus and is endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. The species inhabits different microhabitats between 2 000 to 3 500m altitude, including the leaf litter of a pine plantation. To understand its reproductive ecology, we conducted eight frog samplings, covering the rainy and dry seasons, and two habitat types (secondary native forest and pine plantation) during 2010-2011. For this study, we also included data obtained from five previous similar samplings undertaken during 2008-2009. The pine leaf litter was the main microhabitat where frogs were found; we heard choruses of six-ten calling males during all sampled months, and observed the frogs having diurnal and nocturnal activity. Regardless of the year of study, the population consisted of neonates recruited several times of the year, a large number of juveniles with a wide range of body sizes, and fewer adults with a narrower range of body size. The histological analyses of the gonads showed that the size at maturity was near 18mm SVL for males and females, and those adult males and females were reproductive active during all sampling months, suggesting a continuous reproductive activity pattern.

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).

E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract A new species of Oreobates is described from Cavernas do Peruaçu National Park, Januária, Minas Gerais state, in the Atlantic Dry Forests of Brazil. The new species is distinguished from all other Oreobates by having the following combi- nation of characters: large tympanum, discs broadly enlarged and truncate on Fingers III and IV, smooth dorsal skin, nup- tial pads absent, snout subacuminate, and a very short pulsatile (2–3 pulses) single-noted advertisement call with dominant frequency of about 3150 Hz, and no harmonic structure. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using partial sequences of the mitochondrial genes cytochrome b (cyt b) and 16S using multiple outgroups recovered the new species within Oreobates and sister to O. heterodactylus. The latter species inhabits the Dry Forests of Mato Grosso (Cerrado) and Bolivia (Chiq- uitano forests), and is strictly associated to these habitats, which suggests a preterit connection between Chiquitano and Atlantic Dry Forests. The discovery of a new Oreobates in the Atlantic Dry Forest is of great importance for the conser- vation of these dry forests, as it is known only from this type of habitat.
